If got the message that I'm gonna die in one year I would probably do a lot of things differently. And I'd probably in a lot of ways live much closer to how I actually want to live. Death can serve as a compass, a time limit that makes us see what is actually important. And shouldn't wait for a diagnosis or the death of a loved one to access that. So that is the one part.

But I can't constantly live as if I had one year to live. I might never brush my teeth again! So I have to find a way to combine that with different life spans. Because we don't know how much we're gonna have, so we have to mediate between those different realities.

This is what we're gonna do in this session: Think in a structured way about how we'd live if we had 1, 5, 10, 50 or even 500 years to live – what are the similarities, what are the differences and how can we balance between those?
