One More Last Day

You have things you want to do, things to change, places you want to go, people you want to spend more time with.

Maybe it is about less work, removing all debt, becoming healthier, or just starting something you have put off for years.

It could be travel, repairing a relationship, or addressing the feeling that you want your life to belong to you.

The problem with these ideas is most of us put them off for later. The excuses come thick and fast… more money is needed, when the kids are older, when work settles down, when I am healthier, and on and on the excuses come.

It doesn’t mean the excuses are not reasons. If you have a health issue that needs to be sorted, but if you wanted to do more for a decade, before that real reason popped up, why didn’t you do it before?

One More Last Day exists because eventually, Later runs out.

This is about your life, not mine

You don’t need to do a grand adventure like walking around the world.

You don’t need to quit your job, sell everything, become a minimalist or completely reinvent yourself.

This is about deciding to live more in a way that means something to you.

It could be a massive change or it could mean leaving work on time to spend more time with your loved ones.

It could mean dealing with your debt, making a phone call, changing career, or taking a holiday.

It could also mean understanding that something you have chased for decades isn’t important to you anymore and you decide to stop chasing it.

The goal of One More Last Day is to challenge the assumptions we live our lives under. Then take action on what you want to do starting today, not later on, but today.

What you’ll find here

Each week you’ll get an article from either Rodney or Ethan about a topic like ageing, work, money, fear, family, health, adventure, expectations you inherited rather than chosen.

Every second week you will get an update on the progress Ethan and Rodney have made toward their goals, a live action example of practising what we talk about.

You will see that what we talk about is being applied, or the mistakes, the lapses and our progress.

The things we change our minds about.

The boring work required to make exciting things possible.

And eventually, the journey itself.

But reading isn’t enough

Reading is easy to do and easy to forget.

You could agree with the article, be inspired by it, then close and forget about it within minutes.

That’s why One More Last Day has Action Stations.

An Action Station takes the articles of the last fortnight and converts them into an exploration you can undertake. You’ll need a pen, paper, and roughly twenty minutes to work through.

You might be asked:

• What have you put into Later?

• What are you actually afraid of?

• What does enough look like for you?

• How much of your future time belongs to debt?

• What do you genuinely want?

• What are you maintaining simply because you’ve always maintained it?

• What would you do differently if you stopped assuming there would always be more time?

There is no score.

There is no correct life you’re supposed to discover.

The purpose is to make you stop long enough to look honestly at the one you already have.

Then decide whether you want to change anything.

Who am I?

I’m Rodney.

I’m 58.

My take is on living life on the back end. When health is not certain, physical acts get harder, and when it feels like dreams are slipping beyond any chance of doing them.

In later 2026 I went through a health scare. One that could’ve stopped me doing some of my physical goals, like walking from Melbourne to London with my youngest son (who also wants to walk with me)

In 2028, I plan to leave Melbourne on foot and start walking toward London.

After London, I intend to continue toward Cape Town.

I don’t currently have the body I need to do that.

I don’t currently have all the money I need.

I don’t know exactly what my health will allow.

I don’t have every problem solved.

But that’s the point.

You don’t get to begin life once everything is perfect.

You begin from wherever you happen to be and whenever you decide to start living it.

And There’s Ethan

Ethan is 18.

He is looking at the same problem from almost the opposite end of life.

I am asking:

What do I do with the time I have left?

Ethan is asking:

How do I avoid spending the next forty or fifty years building a life I never really wanted?

He wants to earn independently, travel and eventually spend a significant part of his life doing something useful for the people around him.

At the moment, it is to move to Samoa and set up an organization that he runs that will support men who are struggling with the challenges they have there.

He doesn’t have all the answers either.

You’ll get to watch him try to find them.

Eventually, my younger son Josh will become a larger part of the story as well. His goal is to build a life where adventure isn’t something reserved for annual leave, it is something he lives, documents and encouraged others to do more of.

Three people.

Three different stages of life.

One underlying question:

What are you going to do with the life you have?

Why upgrade?

You can read the main One More Last Day articles for free.

You can follow the journey for free.

You can watch us succeed, fail, change direction and eventually leave Melbourne without paying a cent.

I want it to stay that way.

But if you want to do more than follow our lives, the paid membership is where you start working on your own.

The first three Action Stations are free so you can see whether they are useful to you.

After that, Action Stations are for members.

Membership is $5 a month.

You’re not paying to discover where we walked yesterday.

You’re paying for the tools that help you examine where you are going.

And you’re helping fund One More Last Day while we build it.

And in time, when we move to Samoa, it will find out venture to support men through tough times.

Why upgrade now?

Because putting this off would be strangely appropriate.

You could tell yourself you’ll come back later.

You’ll do the exercises when things settle down.

You’ll think about your life when you have more time.

You’ll make some changes eventually.

Maybe you will.

But that’s exactly the habit this project exists to challenge.

You don’t need to transform your life today.

You don’t even need to know what you want the rest of it to look like.

You just need to start paying attention.

If One More Last Day has already made you think about something you’ve been postponing, upgrade and work through the Action Stations with us.

You have today.

Start there.
