Welcome to Week 3.
Imagine you're attending your own funeral. Your loved ones are giving a eulogy about your life. What would you want them to say?
Sit with that before you do anything else this week. Most people's first instinct is to answer with achievements — titles, milestones, things they built. But eulogies are almost never about achievements. They're about who you were to the people in the room, what you stood for, and how it felt to be around you. That gap between what you'd list on a CV and what someone would actually say at your funeral is what this week closes.
The hypothesis: a good life isn't a feeling you'll eventually arrive at. It's a set of conditions you can name now, and check yourself against later.
What to do:
You're building two ledgers this week, on different days so they don't just echo each other:
- Part A takes your 5 values from Week 2 and turns each into a concrete, falsifiable objective — not "become successful," but something you could actually check yourself against.
- Part B independently audits five life domains (work, relationships, health & body, contribution, growth) for the condition — not the achievement — that would need to be true.
Then cross-check them against each other, and close with a short Life Well Lived Statement.
Post here when:
- 🟢 Early in the week — Share one Part A row. Ask the thread if it actually sounds falsifiable, or if it's still aspirational dressed up as concrete.
- 🟡 Mid-week — Share the domain from Part B that was hardest to write a condition for. That difficulty is usually the most informative thing you'll post all week.
- 🔵 End of week — Share your Life Well Lived Statement.
A ground rule for this thread:
If a value from Week 2 resists being turned into something concrete this week, say so publicly instead of quietly skipping it. That resistance is data, not a failure of the exercise — and it's often the most useful thing someone else in the thread will read.
Go write the version someone could actually say about you. ⚰️
