#22> There's nothing quite like contemplating the finiteness of life to help you to stop procrastinating. I had the total opposite thought. Seeing this makes me realize how stupid it is to toil one's life away for a career
I believe they are implying that 'procrastinating' is the same thing as 'toiling one's life' away

#24"If it takes 50 weeks to become advanced at any skill, you can learn about 44 new skills during your career or 64 if you include retirement. Might as well pick something for this week"
This last statement really stood out to me. Especially as someone who has been feeling like theyre are late to the career phase of life.

#25This is not an original idea: https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html But I don't see credits anywhere.
you seem to be assuming it's such an utterly genius idea that they had to have stolen it as opposed to just coming up with it by themselves

#28The contemplation of death is a necessary exercise for a well-rounded mind. All the better that it's now available with a slick UI.

There’s not much of a point to life, so you might as well choose to be happy and chase after pleasurable stimuli. The silver lining to toiling at a career is that it gives you the funding to chase greater and greater stimuli and with less effort. As long as you keep your body healthy the climax of your life will be that much greater. If your career is not doing that for you come up with a new strategy or get a new career, but never change the goal.
