Anticipation of a future event or goal can be a fun exercise! I’m a long way from retirement but if I were closer I would certainly consider a retirement countdown timer. Recently I noticed this AIMILAR Digital Retirement Countdown Timer 999 Days Count Down Timer on a coworker’s desk.
He told me he was thinking of retirement in a couple of years and wanted to keep the number of days from his future retirement in front of him so that he could stay focused on that goal. A countdown timer not only can be used to countdown to retirement, you could also use it to count down to an upcoming vacation, your wedding day, or some other future event. Luckily there are many different versions of this particular countdown timer that you can see below. Click on any image for a larger view.

I do love the idea of having a visible countdown to a particular event. It could be very heartening just to be reminded of something that I am looking forward to. I had another co-worker who would use a sticky note and change it each day on her computer monitor decrementing by 1 each time. It had a meaning to her and no one else needed to know what it was all about.
