The 4,000 Week Reflection
The average human lifespan is surprisingly brief: roughly 4,000 weeks. While that number can feel small, its purpose isn’t to create anxiety, but to provide clarity.
By acknowledging the finitude of our time, we can stop drifting and start choosing how to spend our remaining “sands.” Use the tool below to see where you stand on the timeline and receive a brief philosophical reflection for your journey.

Reflecting on 4,000 weeks.The 4,000-week figure is a philosophical benchmark for living intentionally, not a final deadline. With modern health and a bit of luck, many of us will enjoy 4,500 or even 5,000 weeks. Use this number as a gentle compass for your priorities, not a countdown clock. “Time is a gift, not a race.”
