Build An ALIVE List

Ten questions. Each one unlocks something you already know but have not written down yet. Answer each one, skip the ones that do not fit, or add your own.

Question 1 of 10

Your ALIVE List is taking shape.

These are the things that make you feel alive. Add to your list whenever something sparks that feeling, using the box under your list.

How this works

  • Answer whichever questions resonate and skip the rest.
  • Use the "Add anything you like" box at any time. No question needed.
  • Remove anything with the × beside it.
  • Copy your list with the button under it, or use the PDF download. Your list is not kept if you refresh or leave this page.
  • Share your list with family and friends. It makes a great conversation starter.

    What it is

    Simple. Honest.
    Entirely yours.

    An ALIVE List is a list of small things that make you feel more alive, with one honest question to come back to:

    “Am I living it?”

    Research has shown that small, deliberate choices, repeated, can change how life feels. No single moment has to change your life for that to work.

    Things that might be on an ALIVE List...

    • Visit a bookshop
    • Tell a bad joke
    • Watch the sun rise
    • More mornings with nowhere to be
    • Eat lunch on a park bench
    • Jump, shimmy, dance, sing, hum...

    From Diane

    “I created An ALIVE List because I was tired of bucket lists. Skydiving, climbing mountains, quitting everything and moving abroad.”

    I spent years managing a busy freelance business, family, and my feelings of being stuck in a rut. I just wanted a simple way to feel alive inside an ordinary day. So I wrote down small, simple, “easy to achieve in the moment” things. I taught myself what was needed to disrupt the monotony. I built this space for you to do the same.
