Looks like every blacked out square is a week of time. So this would say that OP will be 22 years old in a few months.
I dont see the connection to the title of the post tho.

I just googled Memento Mori, it’s a Latin phrase that means ‘Remember, you have to die’. Maybe the OP was referring to this statement as a source of motivation to do what’s needed till we have time??

I think it’s more commonly translated to “everybody dies” OP is motivating themselves by reminding them that the clock is ticking.

I feel so motivated. Not.

Same, stuff like this just makes my stomach sink. Though I'm glad it works for some people

Certainly puts life into perspective in how little time we have to spend it on the wrong types of people.
I will place this on top of my phone wallpaper, the "homepage," so every time I unlock my phone, this poster will remind me every time I regret saying goodbye.

That's gonna stop being motivating right around age 26.

When you think about how limited your time really is, you start to realize how much there is to do with so little time to do it.

Yeah. That’s why most of us just ignore that fact as much as possible… 🫣

Seems like a bad deal, but I will take it into consideration.

I’m the Corps we called something like this a Short timers calendar. This seems more like a countdown to death.

This is a motto of the Stoics. It translates roughly to remember that you will die. The idea is to keep in mind that you are mortal and you don’t know when your time will be up. Every day should be lived with purpose.

In the classical context, it was a slave whispering in the ear of the victorious general "remember, you are mortal." General idea, don't let the parade go to you head.

You spelled anxiety spike wrong.

Reminders of our own mortality can be a stressor but also a great motivator.
I experience moderate depression and a lot of time time my symptoms manifest as difficulties getting myself out of bed, which leads to tons of unnecessary stress, shame, and regret which only feeds into the depressive episodes.
I put up a “weeks of my life” poster just like this one and these days I spend a lot less time in bed.

It would be better if they started marking the week off in pen / pencil.
reduhl t1_j5kiy9y wrote
I'm thinking of making this but with the averages of my grandparents worked in as a tighter reminder. Also perhaps the average life expectancy for when I was born.
It does not mean you will get to a line or that you will not pass it by far. But it provides some context. Rather then some random 100 or 110 years.

Right? Once you find out you’re immortal death just becomes what it is, a 4D construct that stops your resonance with 3D realities you’re no longer compatible with. There is no ticking time bomb to fear, it was all in your head.

This mento board looks different.
I've seen ones that assume your death. And so, each time you count your remaining time left, you're motivated to live each day accomplishing your life tasks.
