I want to share something that really impacted me in a big way, related to this notions being discussed here.
It was something I saw in a museum in New York state, about 1 hour north of New York City - I cant remember the name of the museum or the artist or the piece.
It was, literally, a matrix, where every point was a day in your life.
The shocking thing about it was that you could see it in its entirety pretty well. To my surprise, it was not a HUGE matrix, but rather a pretty small one - that you could see quite clearly both holistically, and every individual cell.
I tried to reproduce it in this excel spreadsheet. It is very shocking to see your life in such a way. It is scary. There are not that many cells!

- hartzler 15y agoAfter I saw that comic I made: http://936months.appspot.com http://936months.appspot.com Really is amazing to see your life in dots.
- nileshtrivedi 15y agoAfter I saw the comic and your site above, I made this: http://936months.staticloud.com/ http://936months.staticloud.com/ A months seems like a perfect unit of time to plan your life in.
- hartzler 15y agoVery cool! The drop down for year/month is way better.
