I'm more interested in the poster: "Death is coming. Make sure it is impressed when it arrives."

I'm not OP but I've been quite interested in absurdism (and the works of Albert Camus) recently and my interpretation is that most younger folks live life with the feeling that they're gonna live forever. In reality, we're all (at least currently) slowly making our way towards death and are, in that sense, "dying" just as much as a 90 year old is.

Keeping the "inevitability of death" in mind may seem demoralising to some but it can actually be useful in the sense that it makes negative experiences and struggles seem more like small pieces in the puzzle of experience. By pushing on and "living life to the fullest", despite all of its ups and downs, you aim to "impress death" when it finally comes. Or, to summarise:

"Death is coming. Make sure it is impressed when it arrives".

"...Make sure it is impressed..." does add something to the encouragement that "it's never too late" to do what you've been putting off.

Is it possible to attach them to the top of your monitors? Light therapy is most effective placed at a top down angle. But still a cool setup, I'm planning to do something similar. Hope it'll help you!

Yep I'm working on a solution to mount them above the monitors using tablet holders. I found a multi tablet mounting system that's meant for POS systems and short order displays but it's expensive so I'm trying to cobble my own together using cheaper parts.
