Even someone uncomfortable with writing can create a list.

Someday, a day unknowable and unpredictable, you, like every other person ever born, will cease to walk this earth. If you have children, close siblings, or dear friends, consider leaving them lists of some of the most impactful experiences of your life. It can be incredibly joyful to remember someone by reading their favorite books, trying their favorite meals, or visiting their favorite places. Legacy lists allow someone to reconnect deeply with their memory of you and experience you in a deep and unique way after you are gone. They are a great parting gift for those who love you, especially your children.

You could make all or just a few of these legacy lists, depending on what feels important to you to leave behind:

  • Top Ten Books
  • Top Ten Songs
  • Top Ten Places
  • Top Ten Meals
  • Top Ten Movies or Documentaries
  • Top Ten Live Performances
  • Top Ten Experiences
  • Top Ten Quotes or Words of Wisdom
