Although life is lived forward, it can only be understood backward. From the perspective of lifehistory theory, we propose that mortality reminders may induce backward thinking from the endpoint of life and regulate intertemporal choice between smaller-and-sooner (SS) and largeand-later rewards (LL), thereby helping individuals with time management.
