What should I do less of, and when?



Yesterday I had a "thinking-about-my-life day".
Sometimes I do this as a Mindsweep , noting down
whatever comes into my head.

Yesterday I was just thinking and thinking.
It is a different challenge for somebody who likes
to get things down on paper right away.


I remembered something I worry about:
Somebody I know is still driving a car at the age of 80.
When family members talk about this with
the person concerned, he gets very defensive, pointing
to the MD's recent approval. He is of the firm
opinion that he is still capable of driving.
Driving of course gives this person the possibility
to get out and do what he has done a whole life.
Not driving would mean a great change in quality of
life.

Then I look at myself, and wonder in what fields of
life I myself am of the firm belief I am still fully capable,
but that in fact I may not be so.

What should I do less of?
Worth thinking about.
