You've been thinking about cryopreservation for weeks, maybe months. You've read the articles, watched the videos, done the research. You think it makes sense. You want to do it. But you haven't actually signed up yet.
Let me guess what's stopping you: it's not that you've decided against it. You just keep thinking "I'll do it next week" or "I need to research a bit more first" or "I should talk to one more person about it." Sound familiar?
The procrastination trap
Here's the uncomfortable truth: the main reason people don't sign up for cryopreservation isn't that they think it's a bad idea. It's that they procrastinate indefinitely. They stay in permanent "maybe" mode, always intending to do it but never actually doing it.
This is dangerous because time matters. Not just in some abstract future sense, but practically and financially. Life insurance gets more expensive as you age. Health conditions that develop can make you uninsurable. Unexpected death means no preservation at all. Every month you wait thinking "I'll do it soon" is a month where you're unprotected.
What's actually holding you back
Be honest with yourself. What's the real reason you haven't signed up yet?
Is it the cost? You've already researched the pricing. You know what it costs. If it's genuinely unaffordable, that's one thing. But if you're just uncomfortable committing to the payment, that's different. You'll never feel completely comfortable spending money on something you hope not to need for decades. Waiting won't make it feel better.
Is it family? Worried about what they'll think? Here's the thing: that conversation won't get easier with time. If you're going to do this, you need to tell them eventually. Might as well have the conversation now rather than putting it off indefinitely while remaining unsigned.
Is it uncertainty about whether it will work? That uncertainty isn't going away. You'll never have proof that revival is possible before arranging preservation. Either the possibility is worth the cost to you, or it isn't. More research won't change that fundamental equation.
Is it just decision paralysis? The feeling that you should be absolutely certain before committing? You're never going to be absolutely certain about something this unprecedented. At some point you have to decide: is this worth trying, yes or no?
The actual steps are simple
Here's what signing up actually involves:
- Visit Tomorrow.bio
- Sign up and select your welcome box
- Sign the contract
- Arrange funding (you can take your time, but the sooner the better)
That's it. It takes a few minutes.
What happens if you keep waiting
Let's talk about the realistic scenarios:
You wait another year "just to be sure." Your life insurance premiums are now higher because you're a year older. Or maybe you've developed a health condition that makes insurance more expensive or unavailable. Or maybe nothing changes except you've spent another year unprotected.
You wait indefinitely. You always mean to do it but never quite get around to it. Then something happens, an accident, sudden illness, unexpected death. You wait so long that you eventually talk yourself out of it entirely. Not because your assessment changed, but because indefinite procrastination becomes permanent avoidance. You rationalize that it probably wouldn't have worked anyway, even though that's not why you didn't do it.
The mindset shift that helps
Stop thinking of this as a permanent, irreversible, absolutely-must-be-certain decision. Think of it as: "I'm arranging this now, and I can always reevaluate later." You can cancel membership if your circumstances or views change. But you can't retroactively arrange preservation if you die unexpectedly while procrastinating.
Also stop waiting for the perfect moment. There's no perfect moment. There's just now, when you're young enough and healthy enough to arrange coverage at reasonable rates. That's the moment. Not next month. Not after you've done one more round of research. Now.
What you'll feel after
We talked with a lot of our members andwWant to know what people say after they finally sign up? Not "I wish I'd waited longer" or "I should have done more research." They say "I'm relieved I finally did it" and "I wish I hadn't procrastinated so long."
The relief is real. You've been carrying this decision around in the back of your mind for months. Every time you see news about cryonics, every time mortality comes up, you think "I really should sign up for that." Once you're actually signed up, that weight is gone. You've handled it. It's done.
Look, you're reading this article. You know what that means. You're interested enough to still be researching. You think cryopreservation makes sense. You want to do it. You're just stuck in the gap between wanting and doing.
Close the gap.
