THE FAMILY WORKSHEET

The family worksheet is an Excel worksheet that you can download to your own computer. Jim Mathews, a futurist in Salt Lake, Utah and I developed this worksheet for a Personal Futures Workshop we did together in Toronto. You simply fill in the names and present ages of yourself and your family members. The worksheet will then show everyone's ages and life stages up to your age 100.

Because the last three stages of life are health related, they are not related to chronological age, so the worksheet assumes you will be a healthy Independent Elder at age 100.

You will need Excel to open the file. When you open the file, you will see data in the columns that illustrates how the worksheet works. Just type in names and ages and the data will be replaced with your information.The worksheet was updatedAugust 5, 2008.
