Usalamulaikum

JazakAllah khairun for this.

I was wondering if someone could help with a query/scenario/problem (no doubt it will be a stupid question. Apologies!)

We should always be thinking of the hereafter and as was mentioned above
`Amr ibn Abdullah said: "The life of this world and the Hereafter, in the heart of a person, are like the two scales of a balance, when the one becomes heavier the other becomes lighter."

I was just wondering sometimes for myself it is really easy to be lost in this dunya and try to plan your degree, job, life in advance, what is the best way to protect ourselves from being so distracted?

The answer is probably obvious but I was just wondering practically what do people do as sometimes when you are living in a country devoid of any belief in the hereafter there are moments when you can actually forget you are going to die.
