Scenario

When your team uses death awareness practices but creates more pressure

Our startup team implemented a weekly 'mortality check' meeting where we reflect on whether we'd be proud of our work if this was our last project, but it's become this intense thing where people either get paralyzed by the weight of it or use it to push for unrealistic timelines, and I don't know how to recalibrate.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collective meditation on mortality is amplifying rather than clarifying the group's relationship with meaningful work.
