The rundown is very slow and gentle, and then it resets on January 1st. Right now there are 35 eight hour blocks of time left in 2016.

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.

I might experiment with this. Thanks for sharing.
