> I don't think banishing clocks is necessary: just care less about them.

This. But you can't feel all hip and special and write blog posts about that people call "beautiful".

But maybe you are used to not care about the clock. People like the person who wrote this blog post obviously felt that the clock controlled his life and stressed him out because of that. The only way for him to not care about it is to get rid of it altogether. At least in the beginning.

Personally I don't think this would match my lifestyle. I don't know anything about this persons lifestyle but most employed people and students have deadlines they need to meet and that requires to know the clock to the minute.

I personally do this, but I do find that, at times, I learn what the time or date is. It does throw me off. I can see benefit, for me, personally, in taking it a step further and removing clocks from my life.
