Greg McKeown, author of the New York Times bestseller Essentialism, has come up with some advice to help you refocus your life.
The tips came from a discussion he had on LinkedIn with a close friend who had been diagnosed with kidney cancer. After surviving the experience, the friend was enlightened. McKeown interviewed his friend and turned the insights into a 7-step exercise to help people focus their lives more fully.
Here is an excerpt from Lifehacker:
- If possible get out into nature where you can feel the natural pace of the earth and not the hyperactive and inhumane pace of modern life.
- Write down the question “What would I do if I only had a week left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer
