      There’s an abacus for days once the years are up, and hours and minutes once the days are up. No need to count all that until the year they’re needed.

    It’s a little less scary if you imagine Death slooowly moving the bead(?) across the abacus over the course of an entire year before starting the next one on your birthday.
