When I was a theist everlasting life horrified me because there wasn't a standard for who got in heaven. Everyone sins to some degree but we don't know God's tolerance for it. Considering what he did to Lot's wife for just looking back I figured it was rather slim and oblivion is much more appealing to me than eternal damnation.

Now I can focus on the here and now and identify my own purpose in life without stressing over nit picky rules such as honoring my parents or not taking the Lord's name in vain.

Contemplating your own mortality can be depressing but to ignoramus' point it helps put what you do have in perspective and helps you enjoy those things more.
