Ah interesting. I agree. Wonder if it is because typical 12 or 24 hour clock resets so we sort of get to "try again" during a new day. A continuously increasing value that never resets just has a more ominous feel to it.

It could be worse, it could be counting down.

I thought of drawing a life-to-page calendar on my lounge room wall.

Decided against it as it would make it obvious how many days I've wasted and how few I have left. Maybe that's all the more reason to do it.
