You can read 3,500 books that way if you start when you're twenty and almost 2,500 if you start when you're forty.

Probably because then it makes you realize how truely little time we have. Its like that site that makes you put in your birthday then shows you a countdown of when you're going to day, complete with seconds so you can just watch the them tick away. Shits actually terrifying

It's a good measure because productivity can best be understood on a weekly basis. Did you read/make money/work out today? No? Ok. Did you do it this week? No? I'm doubting it's really a habit then
