My Latest Productivity Hack - How Many Sundays Left?

[Sanj Modha]

I'm always looking for ways to do more work in less time. In a recent mastermind conversation, I spoke to a high roller (spends $25,000/day on FB ads).

He suggested that I use The Last Sunday - an app that shows you how many Sundays you have left assuming you live for another 83-85 years. You can see my chart here.

I didn't think much of it at first but when you see it on a new tab - it's quite profound. Mike Mullenweg (the WordPress guy) calls this the 'tail end'.

Go download it here and add some jet fuel to your productivity. I kept this post intentionally short - only so many Sundays left.

Don't waste it!

Reminds me of the Life Calendar found here. I used it for a while, but my impending mortality was too depressing (only half kidding). Perhaps I need to use it again because I'm going to die anyway. Man, that got dark fast.

This is awesome, thanks!

I thought me and mortality had an understanding. I don't worry about it, or much think about it, and it doesn't come to get me.


Clicking your link was like a heroin shot of emotions... tingles down my arms, I actually got a little light headed.

Clearly I have more to unpack in this area than I thought.


Getting the app... curious to see what it does to me.

2066 doesn't seem very far away...

The Stoics talk about death all the time because its our mortality that gives life meaning.

And, imagine being immortal with Parkinson's Law: we'd never get anything done!

My favorite book iv ever read is "echos of the great song" by David gemmell.
The moral of the story is if you can live as an immortal you stop living, you will become stuck in the past and wont evolve anymore.

Iv read this book multiple times in my life but its only in recent years that iv truely understood what the writer was saying behind the story.
In the past i allways hoped or tryed to believe i would live for ever, they will find a way to make it happen with future technologie.
But after reading more about the concept of dying (i forgot which book it was) ive come to exept that I will die some day, so now i will do everything to make the most of my life!

Unless you believe in reincarnation - there's one life so give it all you got.

At a job I had, I constantly experienced death. That was the thought going through my head most days.

One day every - single - trace - of your existence will be insignificantly wiped away.

I fear it.

Not death, but the thought of ceasing to exist. To die and get rolled down to the morgue. The pathologist pushing your dead body is in a jolly mood -- it's just another day on the clock and it's almost weekend.

He greets colleagues on your journey underground. He locks in your flesh, bone and paperlike skin someplace safe. It's time for lunch. He microwaves his lunchbox, turns on the TV and watches a rerun that occasionally makes him laugh.

The hospital room you died in gets cleaned. Your stains of blood, the particles of your skin get wiped away. That room gets occupied by someone else tomorrow morning. None will ever know that is the place where you -- a once proud man with many stories to tell -- took farewell to us living.

My belief is that the only way to fight that, is by loving and accomplishing more.

Or you can, like many others, settle with quick gratification, mediocrity, nihilism and a life of quiet desperation. Go ahead. Your life will be just as silent as your death.

Midlife crisis is coming, the chart says so!
