Why countdowns work
A visible countdown creates a sense of anticipation and urgency. Marketers use them on landing pages to boost conversions before a sale ends; teams use them to rally around a launch; and individuals use them to stay motivated toward a goal. Seeing the seconds tick by turns an abstract future date into something concrete and immediate.
