“Is this worth doing if I die tomorrow?” / SML.20130516.PHIL

The older you get, the more you begin to appreciate the availability of time. Your time is limited, but how do you prioritize for things which are important?

 

I used to put priority in terms of categories: work, self, love, family. But when you group things into categories then sometimes you have exceptions and rules with exceptions are tricky to follow.

 

So now I only ask myself one question: “Is this worth doing if I die tomorrow?” If it is worth doing, then I do it. If it is not worth doing then I postpone it as long as postponing so will not affect anyone else.

 

This I learned mostly from Steve Jobs, which before his death gave a commencement speech at Stanford which has affected me deeply [1].

 

Is this post worth writing if I die tomorrow? I believe so. And therefore it is written and posted.
