4k Weeks Poster™ (Framed)

Good reminder to use our time well

It might feel like a gimmick but I find this product to be really profound. It’s an ever-present reminder that our time is finite and must be used well. I’m very pleased with how this helps me to recenter and focus on the truly essential.

The frame setup is a little tricky

The frame setup is a little difficult, but overall not too tricky. (they really went sturdy with those metal holders.) I'm also not sure why I expected all the boxes to be empty when the frame was new; This will make a visible difference from the moment the further boxes are filled with a pen or marker.

Great idea with a bit of work needed

I absolutely LOVE the concept; very elegant look; the founder is quite a lovely writer and very inspiring. However, execution sadly doesn't quite deliver. The framed poster I assumed had an easy way to mark the weeks, since that's the entire point, but it doesn't - you would have to unframe and reframe it every week. That wouldn't be a total loss, except the tabs at the back are the kind on a regular frame which is not intended to be routinely accessed, so the thin metal tabs will break off within a few weeks of use as they're not designed to be opened and closed often (it fatigues the thin metal and they simply snap off.) This is the main issue, but also noted that 1) the QC code strangely is placed over top of and blocking the last 9 weeks, which is very clunky and sort of ruins the aesthetic as well as the functionality, assuming you want this to last; 2) there's no easy way to determine which week you're on if you lose track (or if you skip a week or two trying to spare the poor metal tab); 3) the weekly email doesn't come out on 'your' day of the week, so it doesn't really trigger a reminder to mark the week, 4) and unless you want to reframe your poster weekly, you'll need to buy a whiteboard marker which at >$120 in Canada, you'll hope they'd include, but they do not. At a lower cost or with some enhancements, this would be a great product, but I have to sadly say that overall I regret this purchase (though it's partly on me that I didn't ask more questions about the how/process!)
