This is a list for a person whose age is such that the odds are about 99% that he will live to see the following year if he does nothing but clip hairs out of his nose. When life's ending is still at such a distance, the odds on anyone keeping a resolution longer than the time it takes to eat a hot dog without condiments is about nil minus seven.
Most of those actions are ones for people at an age where their vitality is still high and where they are still in the workplace where, if they do not do these things, their most probable loss is of employment, not of life.
It is those people a generation older that need a list to keep life meaningful. They no longer have the structures around them (work, family, friends, meaningful activities built in). They need to make life up to replace all the things you just described. Getting someone whose patterns still are all available and fixed to change, is not likely. They talk about it but keep on doing everything the same way they always did.
I have a saying about life: Just when you finally learn to identify and locate you own ass, either you get arthritis and you can't reach it or you get alzheimer's disease and you don't remember what it is.
So, all the lists in the world do not really change anything.
So I'm a pessimist. Sue me. My glass is always half full but after many years of seeking, I'd hate to tell you what it is half full of!
Have a wonderful day if you make lists and follow their precepts and have a wonderful day if you don't make lists and follow them.
