Why a clock, not just a number
Over on r/retirement and r/fire, people post their countdowns daily — there's something about watching a number shrink in real time that a static "547 days" never delivers. The clock makes it a ritual: morning coffee, one glance, on with the day.
Every number that matters
The grid under the clock counts calendar days, work days, weeks and paychecks — because "how many paychecks left" hits different than "how many days." That's the difference between this clock and the 101planners-style one-pagers: paychecks and work days, and no sign-up wall.
