Using colored beads to remind yourself that you will die soon

My first thought was, “nah, that can’t be enough beads.” Then I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations and thought, “Okay, I guess that’s the right number of beads.” Then I figured out that that was the whole point of the exercise: I don’t have that many beads left! Then I started pricing little colored beads. Then I realized I was wasting precious bead-time trying to imitate his bead-exercise. Then I got stressed out and got right back on the internet to calm myself down. Then I realized I had this window open, so I figured I’d comment. Now I’m feeling bad about wasting STILL MORE BEAD-TIME. Gotta go!
