A Decision-Making Activity
We believe death is a life skill. Taking small steps now encourages us to live intentionally, the best we can, and lay a solid foundation for when those proverbial forks in the road present themselves.
This family-friendly, light-hearted activity helps you explore the quantity and quality of your life thus far. You can do as little or as much as you’d like in one sitting.
Total estimated time ~30-90 min

BENEFITS OF DOING THIS ACTIVITY
You’ll capture the legacy (yes legacy!) you’ve created so far on this planet! You’ve led a cool life and it’s good to jog your memory to remind you of that. Additionally, this is an awesome chance to sit down with your parents, or elders in your family or community to “interview” them on the wild ride that was their past! To show interest in the lives others have led, in all their glory and messiness, is a gift to both of you.
You’ll take stock of how you’re spending your time today and what’s supporting you to thrive in the best possible ways.
You’ll make plans for the future based on looking in the rearview mirror and where you’re standing today!
BENEFITS OF DOING THIS ACTIVITY TODAY
It offers a chance to reflect on our current chapter, and make any course corrections (if necessary) to support us to thrive in the best possible of ways.
It’s a guidepost for our immediate and long-range future. When (not if) we need to make those important life decisions, it won’t be the first time we’ve sat down to seriously ponder what is truly important in our lives.
We all exist somewhere between thriving and dying.
At some point, we’ll be asked to make weighty decisions (assuming death doesn’t come suddenly) related to our health and how that affects the time we choose to spend on this planet. Our free death planning tool Reflecting on Quality + Quantity of Life helps you and your family prepare for that moment.
