☀️ Stoic Morning Minute: Remember You Will Die

💭 Modern Translation

Your days are numbered, and you have no idea what that number is. Not exactly motivational poster material, but this reality check isn't about scaring you—it's about cutting through the bullshit that fills your calendar and mental space with things that don't actually matter.

⚡️ Your Move

Next time you check your phone (so, probably in about 3 minutes), pause and ask: "If today were my last day, would I care about this notification?" Then put down your phone and spend 30 seconds focusing on something that actually matters to you. Watch how quickly your priorities clarify.

🤔 Today's Question

What would you immediately stop doing if you learned you had one year left to live?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Memento Mori,
