Nice exercise but more than anything I love the first comment:

Every year for the past 3 years or so I have spent a few hours writing out the areas of my life I want to set intentions or goals, so I'm no stranger to taking stock of my life in an intentional way. When I read the article, and got to the point about 100 post-its, I knew I'd have about 5, which is something I'd been reflecting on in the past few weeks. I have no major or ambitious goals right now. Reading this, I felt exhausted for the author in the sense that, if she actually tried to apply all of this daily, she'd not have time or any energy left to just to be in the moment.

I think this audit would be great in a professional or organizational sense, but when she talked about the peer suite of advisors...I thought to myself "my life is not a corporation. I don't need/want board members." I think it's tempting but dangerous to think of our lives in a way that can be treated the same way as a business. I think they call that phenomenon post-modernization. Contrary to popular belief, I am NOT a business, and I'm damn sure not a machine. I don't have to show up at the same time or in the same way every day in order to be impactful. I'm just a human being, out here.
