Create a proof-of-life list on your birthday
Everything you actually did this year, written down in one sitting.
We measure years by what we failed to finish. A written list of what actually happened corrects the record dramatically.
Trips, first times, hard conversations, things you finished, people you helped. Aim for forty items.
Do it every birthday and the run of lists becomes the most valuable document you own.
How to actually do it
01 Book an hour on your birthday for it.
02 Use your camera roll and calendar as memory aids.
03 Keep every year's list in the same place.
