This clock would like to remind you that you wont live forever
This clock would like to remind you that you won't live forever This clock would like to remind you that you won't live forever Seize the day, they said. It would be easy, they said. Just kidding.Now, thereâs an easier way to potentially make sure that work isnât your everything. Itâs called Memento Mori, a clock without days that counts down on your computer, because as we all know, our time here is limited.Go to the website or add the extension to your Google Chrome browser to have it pop up every time you click open a new tab and remind you that âYour time is limited.âHereâs why you shouldnât waste the time you haveThe creator, who goes by William, or @wimgz on Twitter, writes in a Medium blog post that he was motivated to create the clock because of the concept of âmemento mori,â or the Stoic idea that you will eventually die.In other words, you wonât always be around, so you should use your time wisely.He writes that he was also inspired by Tim Ferriss and Ryan Holiday, who reportedly have coins with the same reference on them, and Stripe CEO Patrick Collison whose computer has a li fe âcountdown.âAs he hammers home in the post,âif you are to die soon, then you should make your time count. Stop wasting these precious seconds! Stop wasting time on Facebook. Go build something. Go spend some time with your loved one.âWilliam continues, writing on a lighter note that we shouldnât âtake anything too seriouslyâ since life is so fleeting, relatively speaking.But if Memento Moriâs URL address isnât enough of a reminder for you that your time really is precious - itâs literally âhttps://remember.ripâ - the constant ticking of the clock will surely do the trick once you enable the sound feature.
