Notion Life Calendar Widgets
A life calendar widget (also called a memento mori calendar) maps your whole life into a grid — one cell per year or week — and fills in the time you've already lived. Set your birthday and expected lifespan once, and the widget renders your life's progress inside your Notion page as a quiet daily reminder that time is finite. Paste the embed URL into Notion and choose "Create embed" to add one.

What is a memento mori life calendar?
A visualization popularized by Tim Urban's "Your Life in Weeks": your lifespan drawn as a grid, with lived time filled in. Seeing the remainder at a glance is a powerful prioritization nudge.
Is my birthday stored anywhere?
Only in your own browser's local storage — it never leaves your device. Clearing browser data resets the widget.
Can I change the expected lifespan?
Yes, the lifespan is configurable, so the grid can represent 70, 80, 90 years — whatever horizon you want to plan against.
Which style fits a minimal dashboard best?
Sleek blue is the most restrained; soft pink suits warm aesthetic pages; the retro version draws the grid in 8-bit pixel style for dark themes.
