About the project

Every number in this project is deliberate. It is a generalized model of an average Russian person's life, assembled from open data, research, observations, and a touch of irony. We tend to think of time and habits as something endless, but once you bring them together in a single table, the picture becomes unsettlingly concrete. On average, a person:

• Spends a third of their life asleep,
• Almost five years staring at a phone screen,
• And only a few months truly happy.

"Time" shows how life breaks down into days, hours, and seconds. "Consumption" is a mirror of our dependencies, where liters, kilograms, and packs turn into years of spent energy. In the "finances" section you can see where the earned millions actually went — and how much it cost to live "like everyone else." "Digital" reminds us that virtual hours burn no less than cigarettes. "Emotions" and "relationships" capture what can't be bought, but is most often lost. All data is not exact science but an artistic reconstruction of reality. This is not a document — it is a mirror reflecting everyday life.

Why this exists

The project does not accuse or moralize. It simply records what it means to be a person today — with their habits, fears, and digital dependencies. This is not about statistics — it is about choice. About how easy it is to live a life without noticing how "today" accumulates into a final tally.
