It’s usually better than the alternative. So get out there and live it up!

Natural Decline
Everything gets there towards the end, or even throughout its existence. People are no different. We decline with time. Our physical limits go as well as our mental faculties.
It is not easy to watch or experience. But it happens. Prepare for it in advance. And bring your humour with you.
Work Swiftly
When you have work to do, work swiftly. Stay focused on the task at hand and get things done quickly. It’s efficient and you’ll feel better about getting it down without dilly-dallying.
Reminisce Fondly
Remember your past. Appreciate it. Do this often. This great feeling is very important to have throughout your life.
Older Experience And Younger Opportunity
The older I get, the more I can see the potential in people, especially the youth, or those younger than me at least. They have time on their side. If they use their time wisely, they can achieve anything. They just need to dream big enough and get to work.
Rest
Do this anywhere you can, when you need to. It’s a very important part of remaining resilient and making good decisions.
Get Ahead Of The Curve
Get your basics sorted out quickly. Then every 3-6 months add to them. Do not fall behind, or at least not for long. Then catch up quickly.
Keep building and compounding your position. If you have a 3 month emergency find, then set up your will. Once you have a will, get a POA ready, and then your funeral plans.
These things are especially important to do if you have kids. Better yet, get it all sorted before the kids come because you may then struggle to stay ahead of the curve. Good luck!! ????
Sleep Is Super!
Remember to prioritise it.
How Does It End?
I assume most people want to know how things end. Some people read the last chapter first just to get it over with. Some people plan well, including the end.
The end of a holiday is often a bit anti climatic for me as you often have to find your things and pack your bag, get to the airport and/or drive home. Life can be a bit like that too. The first and last 10% is often not hugely memorable. The 80% in the middle, though… there’s the beef!
So live it up and enjoy but also pack the day before so you’re not stuck doing that in those precious final moments that you’re savouring and wish never had to end.
Detailed Goal Planning
This is not easy. It is simple but not easy. You need to refine your goals and get very clear about what you are aiming for. Then you need a clear timeline and plan to achieve them. The more precision you add now, the higher the probability of hitting your targets!
My book, Achieve Anything, could not be better value on Amazon in the UK. Go take a look. For a couple of £s you can learn more about goal planning and taking your life up a notch or two in 2024!
