Totally agree. If today were the last day of my life, I would spend it visiting my favorite spots of local natural beauty with my family. Not working, no matter how fulfilling the job. Even Steve Jobs, who was famously driven, left his career for his friends and family once he knew the end was approaching.

Since today is not my last (I hope!), and I know that I want to give myself and my family a life that is fulfilling for a long time to come, I work to earn money and hopefully make the world a better place.

I think it's good to remember that time is precious, but trying to guide your work habits by the "last day of your life" is not really that helpful IMO.
