#411 - You Forgot You’re Going to Die (And It’s Costing You)

You’re busy. Life is good. Things are flowing. And that’s exactly when you’re most likely to forget something critical: You’re going to die. In this episode, I break down why thinking about death— especially when life feels good —is one of the most practical Stoic tools you have. We talk about: Why feeling good doesn’t mean you’re living well How comfort quietly leads to wasted time The connection between mortality and urgency Why procrastination thrives when you feel like you have “more time” How to use Memento Mori without becoming negative or anxious This isn’t about being morbid. It’s about being precise with your life.
