A recent tweet from Sahil Bloom made me think about my list of no regrets.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We should all spend more time doing things we never regret.<br><br>A few things I never regret:<br><br>• Sprinting on creative work<br>• Calling my parents<br>• Going for a walk<br>• Exercising for 30 minutes<br>• Sleeping 8 hours<br><br>Make your list—then spend more time on those.</p>— Sahil Bloom (@SahilBloom) <a href="https://twitter.com/SahilBloom/status/1487917431876108295?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 30, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It’s a fascinating reversal as I get older because the more common approach would be to look at my regrets in life and consider how I might change my future actions to minimize more regrets.
Sahil’s list includes:
- Creative work
- Calling his parents
- Going for a walk
- Exercising for 30 minutes
- Sleeping 8 hours
And to my list, I would, in addition to Sahil’s list, add:
- Reading a good book
- Spending time with my family
- Practicing a new language
- Meditating
- Journaling
It’s incredibly powerful to think about the things you definitely do not regret doing, and then to spend more time doing those things.
What’s on your no-regrets list?
