Hey ya’ll. Recently I’ve come up with an idea that, although I like, I’m not sure how it would be thought by other people in the market and I need your help.

The idea is about a physical countdown clock/device that you can put your age into and it will count down your average life expectancy left down to a certain amount of digits so you can see seconds off of your life being shaved away (the life expectancy part is calculated via an actuarial life table).

The purpose of the device is purely motivational: it’s supposed to realize how important your time is and to try to get you to stop spending time on things like social media or your phone and actually achieve your goals.

I asked some people who would be a target audience and they said they liked it. Some other people, however, said that it could mess with people’s mental health and make them feel negative about the product instead of it motivating them.

My ideal audience would be people in their 20-40s that are on the self-improvement trend who want to improve their life before they waste too much time on things they don’t want to.

So does this mean viable? Could you see it popping off or would you be interested? Or am I like some weird evil scientist type guy that just came up with some insensitive product haha.
