Day Clocks - Keeping up with Retirement
Posted on April 18, 2006

Someone has finally come up with a device that makes sense for those whose lives are no longer governed by the minutes and seconds, or even hour of the day. With schedules and deadlines having faded into the distant past, the only relevant piece of timekeeping data is determining what day it is.
This may sound odd to some, but anyone who has been retired or semi-retired, for any amount of time, will no doubt relate. It’s interesting how time sort of starts running together when the necessity of paying attention to it ceases to drive us. Actually most of us have experienced this to some degree on vacation or holidays.
With no need for hourly precision, it’s amazing how easy it is to loose track of the days. The time can be deduced by looking outside – day or night, morning or afternoon aren’t particularly hard to figure out. But that approach doesn’t work so well for figuring out the day – the season maybe, but not the day.
So of all the day clocks I’ve seen, my favorite is the simplest. The clock face is divided into seven days with just a single hand that traverses a day each 24 hours. There are other models of course. Some also include the hours and minutes, or give both analog and digital displays. A few look like they’re trying hard to be all things to all people, by resembling a giant day/date watch.
But for me, simpler is better. There are several places to check these out, so see what you think. If you’ve started noticing the days running together, or know someone in that situation, take a look. Even if you’re still tracking time the traditional way, a lot of folks like these at their vacation home, or just for weekends.
