Come Alive by Jonathan Mead
Life wastes itself while we are preparing to live. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you had one week left to live, would you still be doing what you’re doing now? In what areas of your life are you preparing to live? Take them off your To Do list and add them to a To Stop list. Resolve to only do what makes you come alive.
Bonus: How can your goals improve the present and not keep you in a perpetual “always something better” spiral?

Come Alive by Andrew Cairns
1 week left to live ? It's a bit longer than 15 minutes - see previous post (http://my-self-reliance.blogspot.com/2011/05/trust30-online-initiative-30-day.html). Would mean spending (wasting ?) less time on frivolous things like watching TV, surfing the net, and more time doing things of real value : spending time with family and friends, spending time in nature, prayer / meditation, playing and listening to good music... To do lists or to stop lists are very hard to keep (a bit like New Year's resolutions). Concentrating on goals that improve the present or immediate future may be useful / easier to do, although it's still a question of motivation, kicking habits / time-wasting activities.
