I think the biggest problem with time keeping systems is that they counts up, but our lives are not infinite. For us, time is really counting down.
After trying to reconcile the solar year with decimal time in a way that made sense, I abandoned my effort and created a time keeping system with 1095 units of time of time per year (1098 in leap years).
The units are 8 hours long, because no progress on hard problems is made in an hour.

I call it Maker Time:
The web site is @ http://willholloway.net/makertime.html A JSON API is @ http://makertime.willholloway.net/api/current
Checking the current Maker Time reminds me that I have 1060 - 349 (for sleep) = 711 opportunities to make cool things this year.
