Watching Maker Clock count down from 1000 each year of the rest of my life would not be too stressful. I will grant that a clock that counted down from 50,000 or so to zero on my expected deathbed would not be as zen-like as the Maker Clock purports to be. Just calculating that number is zen-like, but a daily reminder would not be.

A warning: if you're stressed out by the idea of time running out, don't click this link. But I found this graphic description of the years, months, and weeks in a typical life to be surprising: http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html I don't typically think of a year or a week as lasting as long as it appears to in those images.

It's a numerical representation of the time left in a year. I like to think of it as 35 chances to make meaningful progress on important things in 2016.
