I came up with an idea today: I think it would be useful to have a list of everything that a typical person ought to do. After all, there is quite a lot of stuff that a typical person ought to do; how else is a person supposed to remember it all?

Here's what I've come up with so far:

Health

• Eating well.
• Exercising regularly.
• Mitigating common risks in everyday life (e.g. wearing a seat belt while driving).
• Other everyday health stuff (e.g. not sitting down eight hours a day).
• Visiting a doctor, a dentist, and (if necessary) an optometrist on a regular basis.
• Being familiar with common health problems and what to do about them.
• Being able to recognize medical emergencies and react appropriately.
• Maintaining mental health (see also: pretty much this entire list).

Money

• Educating oneself in career-related skills.
• Getting a job and/or becoming self-employed.
• Networking (see also: interpersonal interaction).
• Investing one's savings appropriately.

Altruism

• Donating to charity.
• Volunteering for charity.
• Doing favors for friends.

Interpersonal interaction

• Developing and maintaining relationships with other people: friendly, romantic, family, others?
• Discussion of useful topics.

Recreation

• Hobbies, finding ways to enjoy yourself. (I'm not sure how to expand on this one.)

Responsibilities

• Any responsibilities one has signed up for.

Productivity

• Developing and maintaining one's ability to get stuff done. (Kinda vague, this one.)
• Maintaining a list of what needs to be done.
• Making good decisions about what to do. In particular, which of the items on this list to focus on and how to accomplish them.

Skills

• Developing the skills one needs to carry out these tasks effectively, through education, experience, and discussion.

Anyone have any suggestions for additions or improvements?
