My only concern is this... If you've convinced yourself your whole life that you're going to die at a certain date will the placebo effect come into play and actually make you die prematurely around that date?
Other than that it works and it works well. I'm 27, the average male lives to age 72, which means I've got 45 years of life left. It's boosted my productivity, helped me focus on the things that matter, helped me manage my fear of what others think of me (I don't care anymore).
My next experiment is to have a countdown timer on my desktop that counts down to my demise. A bit morbid but I've accepted things like this long ago so it's not depressing.
