⏳ How (and why) I remind myself that life is short

I strongly believe that truly learning how little time we have is the most valuable lesson you can learn in your life.

Understanding your time helps you appreciate what has been, and to strive for what could be.

Unfortunately, most people don’t learn that lesson until it is too late in one way or another - either because they themselves have reached life’s end, or because they have lost somebody dear to them.

Learning the time lesson is often not enough. People forget. It is difficult to internalise how finite our time is. I make it a mission to regularly remind myself of the realities of time.

While posts from others, graphs about time, and even a speech I gave are useful reminders, one of my favourite reminders is the shortest: a video about Jellybeans.
