I would probably buy a device like this not to show status to others but to myself;

I use a Life Calendar in Obsidian[1] which shows the weeks elapsed and remaining to my set life expectancy(concept made famous by Tim Urban), it helps me focus with ADHD.

Something like Busy Status bar on the table can help display the life calendar 24x7.
