80 years x 52 weeks = 4160

Weekism is a way of life realizing the the shortness of life and optimizing to make the best of it.

Live life in weeks, ’cause you only have 4,000 of them.


Average life expectancy is less then 80 years. That only give you around four thousand weeks to live.

If you retire at age 65, you would have 780 weeks left to live until 80.

What is optimizing life?

To each their own! Spend time on things that matter to you and avoid habits/things/people that waste your time.

Is this Nihilism?

Not at all. On the contrary, Weekism is about realizing how precious the limited time we have on earth so we can live happy, full-filling and peaceful life.

How should I care about this?

Identify and Reduce your sufferings; Live and let live; Do things that give you peace of mind; Spend your time wisely and with intention.
