Your life in 24 hours

This tool treats your time and attention like a budget. You will:

  1. Enter your age and an assumed lifespan.
  2. Build a typical day using minutes.
  3. See how those minutes add up over your remaining years.

You can change anything later. Start with rough numbers.

Your Life in 24 Hours

Enter your age, add daily activities, and see how your minutes map to your remaining-life budget.

What is the attention economy?
Your attention is a limited daily budget. Apps, games, streaming, school, friends, sports, and obligations all compete for it. This tool helps you see how small daily minutes add up over years.

Step 2 uses minutes. Quick math: hours × 60 = minutes.

Step 1
Enter your age and assumed lifespan
Personalizes lifetime estimates

This personalizes the estimate of how many years you have left. You can always change it later.

“Years of remaining life” is calculated as lifespan minus age. If age ≥ lifespan, remaining years are treated as zero.

Step 2
Build your day (minutes)
1,440 minutes per day Categories for comparison chart

Add activities and minutes per day. Categories help the comparison chart group your time.

Used: 0 of 1,440 minutes (0.0%). Remaining: 1,440 minutes (100.0%).
24 hours = 1,440 minutes. If you go over 1,440, some activities overlap.
