Days Since Calculator
``javascript
function daysSinceEvent(eventDate, eventName = 'Event') {
const today = new Date();
const event = new Date(eventDate);
const diffTime = today - event;
const diffDays = Math.floor(diffTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
// Calculate full time breakdown
const years = Math.floor(diffDays / 365);
const months = Math.floor((diffDays % 365) / 30);
const weeks = Math.floor(diffDays / 7);
return {
days: diffDays,
weeks: weeks,
months: Math.floor(diffDays / 30),
years: years,
breakdown: ${years} years, ${months} months, ${diffDays % 30} days,
eventDate: event.toLocaleDateString('en-US', {
year: 'numeric',
month: 'long',
day: 'numeric'
})
};

Celebrating Milestones
Days-since counting is most meaningful when you celebrate milestones. Common milestones: 7 days (first week), 30 days (first month), 100 days (triple digits), 365 days (first year). Some people celebrate weekly, monthly, or only major milestones. Choose what motivates you.
Perspective on Time
Counting days since an event provides perspective on how time passes. "It's been 847 days since I started my business" makes progress tangible. This awareness can motivate continued effort and help appreciate how far you've come.
