As a quintessential millennial navigating life in this era of instant access to social media, I have countless distractions that deviate my focus and make me procrastinate on tasks. It seems like my attention span gets shorter and shorter with every scroll and swipe. Procrastination is a very real problem for many of us. Finding ways to overcome and beat it is necessary if we want to complete or do anything in our lives, whether work-related or personal. Deadlines help me avoid procrastination by playing to my psychological need for urgency to get tasks completed.

Since death is the destiny of every one, I’ve decided to focus on my journey to that destination by living impactfully and purposely. For me, death is a motive for action and fuel for my passions. I refuse to tip toe through life just to arrive safely at death. To keep myself motivated by morbidity rather than terrified of it, I ask myself four questions:

• Are you allowing the world experience you?
• Are you living authentically?
• How do you want to be remembered?
• If you died right now, what would you regret?
