Hey friends!
Welcome to another edition of The Report. In this week's newsletter, I want to talk about the top regrets that people have and what you can do now to minimize these regrets later in life. I've found that this exercise in future thinking can often help reprioritize the way you handle life. It's personally helped me rethink how I allocate energy to specific aspects of my life and overall, become happier. So, here are the top five regrets of the dying:
Overworking
One of the biggest regret in life is overworking to the point of burnout. It’s difficult to step away from that project or that assignment, but it’s more important to balance this with other things you enjoy, like having a family picnic or sunbathing. Getting a time tracker, like Rize, can easily alert you when you’re putting too much into work.
Not Disconnecting
Technology has taken over our lives. While this has been a great way of staying in touch (See Number 5), we often forget to disconnect when interacting in real-life. Monitoring your screen time proactively, or using an app called one sec, can help you dramatically free up your time to dedicate it to the things you love.
Not Learning Enough
There’s so much to learn today, and with technology, it’s become easier than ever to do just this. So much of life just goes towards learning to do what your job requires but it’s important to look beyond as well. Learn a new language (with Babbel) or something new (with Refind). Read a new book or go to a new museum. There's learning opportunities everywhere.
Missed Connections
Despite the rapid onset of technology in our lives, we fail to stay in touch with some of the closest people in our lives. Having a personal CRM, like Clay, or using an aggregated messaging service like Texts or Beeper, can make staying in touch easier.
