interesting death bed confessions... with all this talk of earning top mba degrees so we can work 80-hr work weeks it almost seems like it's all in vain.
https://lifehacker.com/5904390/add-these-five-commands-to-the-top-of-your-to+do-list-avoid-the-most-common-deathbed-regrets
Palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware published a list of the five most common regrets of dying patients in her care. Blogger, developer, and entrepreneur Paul Graham took the list to heart, adding the following five commands to the top of his to-do list:
*Don't ignore your dreams; don't work too much; say what you think; cultivate friendships; be happy.
We've actually mentioned Ware's list before; Graham's commands are simply inverted versions of these regrets:
I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
I wish that I had let myself be happier.
The idea, of course, is that Graham's commands will remind him to avoid these outcomes. As Graham puts it:
The alarming thing is, the mistakes that produce these regrets are all errors of omission. You forget your dreams, ignore your family, suppress your feelings, neglect your friends, and forget to be happy. Errors of omission are a particularly dangerous type of mistake, because you make them by default.
I would like to avoid making these mistakes. But how do you avoid mistakes you make by default? Ideally you transform your life so it has other defaults. But it may not be possible to do that completely. As long as these mistakes happen by default, you probably have to be reminded not to make them.
Designer and blogger Alice Lee took a slightly different approach, turning Graham's to-do list of commands into desktop wallpapers, like the one you see above (you can download the wallpapers in any format on Lee's post).

->I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
This one could apply to some but I would not be satisfied with myself if I don't work as hard as I do since I get a sense of accomplishment, pride and confidence from excelling at what I spend a majority of my time doing. I feel if I took it easy and coasted I would end up regretting it even more so on what could have been. If I dont spend the time improving myself then I am wasting time.
-> I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
This one I agree with, I make an effort to write down a list of people I want to keep in touch with and every once in a while see who I havn't reached out to yet and make an effort for a phone call or a weekend visit. Social media helps but the relationships tend to be shallow.
-> I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a wierd one, you cant really 'let' yourself be happy, you either are doing or not doing what makes you happy. Spend time figuring out what that is work towards it.
Edit - Are you a miscer?
