Exercise in How to improve My Quality of Life

Inspired by Greg McKeown's LinkedIn post The Most Important Hour of Your Life

Step 1: If possible get out into nature where you can feel the natural pace of the earth and not the hyperactive and inhumane pace of modern life.
Step 2: Write down the question “What would I do if I only had a week left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.
If I only had one week, I would want to spend that time with my siblings, because they have been the most important people in my life.
Step 3: Write down the question, “What would I do if I only had a month left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.
If I had one month, I would eat everything I have always wanted to eat with my siblings in tow :-)
Step 4: Write down the question, “What would I do if I only had a year left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.
If I had only a year, I would travel the world with my sister.
Step 5: Write down the question, “What would I do if I only had five years left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.
If I had 5 years, I would live abroad with the bare essentials strapped to my back.
Step 6: Write down the question, “What would I do if I only had a life left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.
I would leave behind the things that make me unhappy, travel freely, eat freely, dance freely, create freely :-)
Step 7: Finally, take 10 minutes to reread all of your answers while asking yourself, “How can I design my routine this week to more closely align with these answers?”
I have no clue where to start, but I recognize that there needs to be a change.
