Imagine, that you are going to die now.
What would you like to do at the last seconds of your life?
To build a house?
To draw a picture?
To say somebody that you love him?
What?...
Think a bit, it is a good type of a little psychological training.

Well, given your examples (build a house) how long before I die is a key factor in my decision. Obviously if I'm taking a celestial dirt nap in 30 min, I'm not going to build a house. :)
If it's a matter of hours/minutes, I would have to say I would call everyone I know and tell them how I felt about them.
If it was a month or two, and this isn't like cancer so you know you're GOING to die 100% I would quit my job, and take my family on a drive all over the country and witness my children exploring the unknown.

Any action (even the build of the luxurious house) in this situation could be done in the last seconds before the death.
The question is - what is this action like?
RightOn, I think that it is good that your varians are connected with people around you and your family.
As for me, I think (I can't know it exactly, of course) that I will say the truth about my very good and kind relation to one person.
Hmm, but is it so important? How do you think?

Hug the people I love and tell them I love them. Then kick them out of the room so they wouldn't have the memory of watching me die.

These wouldn't necessarily have to be in this order, but... Smoke some pot, have sex, paint a floor-to-ceiling painting of something mildly incredible, eat a chimichanga, call/see my mother, and begin a trip around the world. Write about it all until I die.

By the way, I realize this was last action, not actions, but if I were to have time to build a house, I think I'd have time to do all these things. At least that's what I'm hoping. Actually, I'm hoping I don't die tragically.

If I were to die tragically, I would prefer to not feel a thing... I can leave a mess I just don't want to feel it.

I agree entirely, RightOn. Not that I'd WANT to be a burden to my loved ones, but yeah, I'd rather there be a mess than pain for me. Selfish? Maybe.

Play every song I know on the guitar ... make love with my wife ... eat my favorite foods ... I probably wouldn't be me unless i wrote a last post on the blog!

Now? Right now?!
Urm. I'll call everyone that matters to me, and tell them I love them. In descending order of importance, of course.

I wouldn't call but physically be near loved ones to hug them. Then, I'd make sure all the important papers are easily located for them. I would want to die alone the last seconds so no one would have the memories, like already said. I don't want any pain at all and could easily picture taking something to rid myself of pain if I knew I was going to die.
