Memento Mori Notion Calendar

Hi Producthunt! 👋

My name is Pascio. I'm a white collar sales guy by day and a digital creator by night. 👨‍💻

I'm always trying to think out of the box when it comes to creating something in Notion. For a long time, I searched for ways to turn my old Stoic Calendar (paper version) digital, preferably in Notion. After long hours of researching, I finally nailed it. I'm proud to introduce:

Memento Mori - A Stoic Calendar built in Notion. ☠

This calendar is based on the two thousand year old Stoic principle of Memento Mori; remembering death. It's simple: each box represents a week, each line a year, going from 0-90 years old.

You tick off one week after another as long as you live. In return, you'll get a weekly visual reminder of how much time you've actually spent already, and how little is actually left.

It might sound a little cynical at first, but if you think about it, reflecting on mortality actually has benefits. Marcus Aurelius put it very beautifully:

"You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think." —Marcus Aurelius

For me personally, I benefit from the weekly check ins in my daily life, because it reminds me to be a better man and to not waste what time I have left, not being one.

Also want to give colossal thanks to @chrismessina for his interest in and hunt of this calendar. 😍

If you're at all curious about or into Stoicism, or have any other questions, comments, feedback or concerns, I'll be online all day to talk to you.

I hope you enjoy.

Pascio.
