Why a progress bar works on a year
Progress bars are honest in a way calendars aren't: they show proportion, not dates. The year's bar moves about 0.27% per day — invisible in a glance, unmistakable in a week — which is exactly the cadence at which plans drift. The famous Twitter bot proved the format; a bar you see daily on your own wallpaper is the version that changes behavior rather than entertains a feed.
