Attention Economy

Your Life in 24 Hours

Enter your age, add daily activities, and see how your minutes map to your remaining-life budget. You can also compare your day to a baseline student weekday model.

What is the attention economy?

Your attention is a limited daily budget. Apps, games, streaming, ads, school, friends, sports, and obligations compete for it. This tool helps you see how small daily minutes add up over years.

Step 2 uses minutes. Quick math: hours x 60 = minutes.

STEP 1

Enter your age

This personalizes the lifetime estimates. “Years of remaining life” uses your age and lifespan below.
