I agree with the latter part, but even worse to be complacent or ignorant of a time limit.
A pragmatic compromise to acknowledge it and manage your limited time in a psychologically healthy way.
I was the most productive in music and painting during my 20s but I lived with the constant angst that I was running out of time and needed to get results as soon as possible. This was totally counterproductive. I understand now to produce better art you need to be totally focused in the process, and not the end result, or even worse, the consequences of the end result (fame, criticism, etc).
