Kevin Kelly was the original editor of Wired. He has written many books.
He wrote an undated article that you should find useful. It is on his computerized program that tells him how many days he has to live.
His friend Stewart Brand of Whole Earth Catalog fame has blocked his major lifetime projects into five-year segments.
Kelly keeps a blog on his daily activities. This keeps him from trying to fool himself on his productivity.
"What I wanted was a great big flashing sign that would show up on my computer and shout out to me how many days I had remaining. Then I would try to use my blog to record what how I spent the day to keep me honest. A wasted day would reveal its loss in the empty lower count the next day. I figured that mounting an automatic personal countdown sign should be pretty easy, and something that others might want to do as well."

From internal evidence (his age and Stewart Brand's age) I have estimated the year of publication: 2007.
