This 3-step method to simplify your life starts with your obituary
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz want you to think deeply about death.
Not in a morbid sense, mind you. Rather, imagine you’re writing your own obituary. What do you want it to say?
“Thinking about it that way and then working backwards really does create a map [for how to spend your time],” VandeHei told Big Think. 
VandeHei would like his obituary to say that he was a great father, son, sibling, and husband who was passionate about the work that he did and generous in the workplace.
