Top things to do in life

Each of us at least once made a list before going to the store or making a list of things that need to be put in a suitcase before traveling. Agree, it works. After parsing the grocery bag, we do not return to the store because we forgot to buy salt, and immediately proceed to prepare the festive dinner. And having settled in a hotel, we run to the sea, and not to the nearest shopping center, so that at an exorbitant price we can buy a swimsuit. It's comfortable. Why not try to make a to-do list?

We used lists from childhood. Remember the lesson schedule or daily routine, for example? There it was clearly spelled out what needs to be done so that mom lets go for a walk or allows her to watch the next episode of her favorite movie. Learn Nekrasov’s poem, solve problem number five from a math textbook, fill out an observation diary, and so on. It’s so convenient.

But for some reason, having received a certificate, we often forget about this simple way to organize our lives, but in vain. It is clear that the list of things that girls and guys need to do before the age of 18 and 30 will be different, and each person has his own top things, depending on age, gender, social and financial situation. But anyway a list is needed if you do not want to regret in your old years about wasted years when you were in the prime of life and desires.

Why do our desires often remain only desires? Because for most of us, the plan for the day is very primitive - work-home-work. We simply bog down in the swamp of everyday life, in which there must be a place for a holiday. And then, going to bed, we catch ourselves thinking that life is passing by.

How many times have we promised ourselves to read War and Peace, and now our son graduated from college, and we never reached the bookstore. And going to the beloved of my grandmother for the anniversary, we suddenly think about why she even goes to the pool 80 times three times a week, and we never signed up for the gym.

A friend, by the way, in a month gives her daughter in marriage, but we still could not find the only one with whom we could create a family. And there was no time for acquaintance. Putting away your desires all the time is bad for your health. Get away from the ominous formula "work-home-work." Take a sheet of paper, take your mind off everyday worries and write down what you once dreamed about and what you dream about now.

To get started, choose a time, at least half an hour, or better longer. Remember - you are starting a new busy life. And so that later it would not be excruciatingly painful for years spent aimlessly, designate these very goals. Take a pen and paper or create a new file on your computer and get started. Do not be afraid to dream. Ideally, of course, so that not your desires surprise your opportunities, but vice versa. But in any case, remember that life is richer than plans, so go ahead.

First of all, answer the following questions.

• What would you do today if you knew that tomorrow the world will end? No, not the one that the Mayans allegedly promised in December 2012, but the real apocalypse.
• What have you been planning to do more than once, but have not bothered?
• Which countries have you always wanted to visit, or maybe there are other places that your legs have never reached — theaters or museums, for example?
• Remember your most cherished dreams.
• Answer your question about who you want to become. Not in the sense of a profession (cook, engineer or trainer), but in a broader sense.
• Admit that you still do not know how, but certainly would like to learn this.
• Imagine what exactly you would like to tell your grandchildren on your 101st birthday.
• List what and whom you miss in life.

Most likely, some of your “Wishlist” scare you or even make you laugh. The main thing - do not stop. Write down all your most secret desires. Ideally, such a list should contain at least 100 items.

There are lots of to-do lists that everyone needs to do in life. Moreover, they are divided into different categories. There are 100 things that a teenager up to 18 years old and a girl up to 20 need to catch, and then up to 25 years old, up to 30 years old, and even until the end of life.

Your task is to create your own unique list. To make it easier for you, here are a few wishes that are inherent in almost everyone. So let's get started.

Your list may be similar to this one, or it may be completely different. The main thing is that he be. And even if some of your desires seem absolutely unrealizable. Thoughts, as you know, materialize. Moreover, for some dreams you simply do not have enough time.

Most likely, it seems so simple to you. And any person has something to strive for, even if it seems to him that he has already achieved everything in this life. And remember - "never say never". Life is much shorter than it seems to us. You should at least try to get everything or almost everything from her. And then on long winter evenings you will have something to tell your grandchildren.

You can teach them to enjoy every day. Probably even write a book of memoirs, which will be sold in millions of copies. You might even get a big fee.
