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.
@iampascio Never came across something like this before.

Wow, I've never seen anything like that in Notion, fantastic idea! It's giving me a huge motivation by taking just a glance at it, thanks a lot for coming up with it! 🚀

@michal_creates Thank you very much for the kind words Michal. I tried my best to think outside the box and started by thinking: what problem can I solve for myself? Appreciate the support!

@iandikhtiar Thank you Ian! I tried to keep focus on having it minimal and black/white, and it turned out pretty well I think. Appreciate your support!

Memento Mori is a critical Stoic principle to understand and this template offers just that! Congrats on the launch 🚀

@hugh_dawkins Indeed it is. It's what our whole life revolves around, so the sooner you learn to live WITH it instead of IN it, you'll benefit. Appreciate your support Hugh!

@troll_lock Hey, thanks for your response! Yes, certainly for Stoics - but for those unfamiliar with Stoicism, it's a great way to get started as well. Personally, I think Stoicism should be taught in school. lol.

@iampascio Yes I discovered it few years ago in times when I needed a philosophy like this in my life and it helped me a lot!

I like this crazy idea (I started reading about stoic thinking one year ago). It also remembers me the "Wait But Why" calendar, that makes you notice how fast time passes.

@ivan_fanego Exactly! Appreciate your feedback Ivan.
