The Five Regrets Audit

The five most common regrets of the dying — heard at a thousand bedsides — turned into a checkup you run while there's still time. Each regret prints as a spectrum between two poles (always at the desk ←→ present for the life); you mark where you honestly stand today in pen, then name one move this month for the mark that stings most. Every regret gets a typed move line plus a blank second line for the move after the move, and a next-audit strip books the re-check before the marks set. The five regrets never change. The marks still can.

Best for: An honest quarterly check against the five deathbed regrets, while the answers can still change.

The five regrets of the dying, as a checkup you run in time.

The five most common deathbed regrets are already printed on the page — each as a spectrum between two poles, like always at the desk ←→ present for the life. You mark where you honestly stand today, in pen, and name one move for the mark that stings most.

How it works

Write one corrective move per line — they pair with the five regrets in order: true to yourself, working less, saying feelings, keeping friends, letting yourself be happy. Small and concrete beats grand and vague.

Or print it completely blank and do the whole audit in pen. The spectrums and a second write-in line per regret are always there.
