Yes, I thought it was a great article and thanks to Mountain Man for raising the topic here. I tried to get a discussion going on the subject over on the ABR site but it didn't really take off. I read somewhere once that before the age of 20 people never think about death but after the age of 20 they never stop thinking about it.
Whether that's true or not is debatable but a lot of the items on the list have come to dominate my thinking as the decades have passed. At the moment three of them are serious elements in my life with one of them causing me to seek professional help. Most of the categories run counter to the needs of everyday life so it's easy for years or decades to slip by before you realise you've done lots but achieved nothing.
