How I did it: I pulled from my Master Life list and from my 43 things list to compile my obituary. I didn't think too long or hard, instead writing down mostly first reactions. I've always known what things are really, actually important and they ended up on the list (yet again). I didn't write every little thing down, though. If I wasn't sure about it, I left it out. For example, there's no mention of a significant other, because I truly believe that there are some things that just cannot be planned out. This was a massive moment of clarity and a great test of how well I know myself.
Lessons & tips: I only wrote down the highlights. I kept it under 2 pages as it is an obituary, not a memoir. I didn't take much time, maybe an hour to write it. I let my initial responses take the lead.
Resources: A pad of paper and a couple No. 2 pencils.

to lay it out like that. Everyday we make excuses about why we don’t or didn’t or couldn’t or can’t. But in the end (and the end is coming) what excuses will we have? Sounds like a great way to boil down what you want from what you want to be. Congrats.
