I see that I'm not the only one inspired by this blog post [1]. I did a similar visualization with blocks to display my working hours [2].

I did the same thing when my grandfather died: A grid with each square representing a week of his life, and each row representing one year. Then, we mapped as many events from his life as possible.

    I am doing an excel sheet, 52 boxes per row, one row per year. Inspired by waitbutwhy article.

      Do you find some years need 53 boxes?

      If you're born April 1, 52 weeks after your birth would be March 31, and after 52 more weeks it would be March 30 (before considering leap years).

      I guess it can stay 52 boxes, and the last box has a day extra (or two, on leap years).
