Weird tangent:

A couple years ago I had a wicked bout of insomnia, and one of the things I did to combat it was to scrub all my screens of clocks, so that I couldn't easily succumb to an anxious urge to check the time when I was having trouble falling asleep.

I've found that not having a clock in the upper-right corner of my screen slightly but noticeably chills me out. Like the little red badge on the email client telling you to stop what you're doing and check your mail, the clock is a source of tiny little distractions throughout the day.

I still use calendars, of course, and I'm never more than a couple keystrokes from the time.

[ahh]

Is there an easy way to remove a clock from Android? How about OSX?

In OS X, you can go to Apple menu->System Preferences->Date & Time->Clock and uncheck "Show date and time in menu bar". To bring it back, just check that option.

[System Preferences has a lot to offer for many things, including custom keyboard shortcuts and such]

On macOS, you can hold the command key and drag the clock off the menu bar.
