LifeTime™ 4K Weeks Poster 4000 Weeks Your Life in Weeks Wall Calendar - Classic Edition, Medium Size

I initially saw this on Instagram and was intrigued. I wasn't sure if it was for me but reading the reviews made me consider buying it. I bought a frame for it and decided to place the plastic cover over it and use chalk markers to colour in the weeks passed. I went through various modes when filling in the weeks from birth. Initially I was reflective, and then I rushed and wanted to fill all my weeks and years in as it was taking time, and realised that rushing gave me no sense of reflecting back on my life and what I had achieved in spite of the struggles in life and how my life journey has been so far. I had started first with the year I am now at, but decided to rub it out, as I can, as it is a chalk marker, and carry on from the top and continue to reflect on my life so far. That feels much better even if it takes time to do. Proud of my achievements and growth and where I am today and it also is nudging and encouraging me to live on the now and not put things off. I also am decorating the frame with flowers to make it look appealing and have placed it on a cabinet in the kitchen where I spend a lot of my time. I bought different coloured chalk markers but decided on purple. As I can rub off when needed, I can always change colours should I feel the need to, to reflect certain periods in my life (or not). For me, so far, filling in the weeks has been reflectional 😊🌻🌿 and enjoyable. I still have a few more years to colour and fill in yet, as I have only just started. 😊🌹 and I am looking forward to filling them in 👍✍️

This poster came rolled up in a black tube with a small pen which you use to fill in the boxes and some velcro tabs to stick to the wall. The velcro is nice as it means you can remove it quite easily if you want to move it. The idea is that each week, you fill in a box and then you can see roughly how many weeks you have left if you live an average length of life. This is then meant to inspire you to get your dreams completed within this time. Personally, I find it very inspirational and puts your life into perspective. I ordered the medium size which is still quite big. My biggest issue is that you are essentially paying £24 for a sheet of paper with a load of boxes printed on it. The paper is a bit thicker and sturdier than normal paper but it could still easily be ripped and ruined. Unless you keep it very nice, I doubt it would last the full 76/77 years that it represents.

Die Qualität und das Design des Posters sowie der Verpackung ist sehr sehr gut. Punktabzug gibt es für einen Knick im Poster an einer Ecke sowie für die starke Krümmung durch das einrollen in der Verpackung. Ich habe das Poster bereits ausgerollt mit Büchern beschwert aber es will einfach nicht gerade/plan werden.

Ich habe bewusst zum deutlich teureren Produkt gegriffen, da ich davon ausgegangen bin hier auch eine entsprechend hochwertige Qualität zu erhalten. Mit Blick auf die Verpackung des Kalenders ist dies auch durchaus der Fall. Eine hochwertige Kartonage und feines Packpapier umhüllen den eigentlichen Kalender. Leider handelt es sich beim Kalender selbst um absolut einfachstes Standardpapier, welches in meinem Fall an den Ecken auch noch geknickt war. Aufgrund der gerollten Verpackung ist es zudem nicht möglich den Kalender plan an der Wand anzubringen Das nächste Mal greife ich definitiv zum chinesischen Konkurrenzprodukt für circa 3-4 Euro.

I’ve decided to return my poster as I think for £25 it’s just not the quality you’d expect. I think it’s a great concept and I understand you’re paying for that, but for something I want to keep my whole life … it’s already creased and the ink runs so easily so it just looks a bit messy on my wall, as well as provoking thoughts of death. I do love the concept, I just think for £25 it should have been thicker card and a better pen (a stamp may also have been better).
