I have a bit of a problem.
I have a lot of interests. Development, Gaming, YouTube, Sports, Design... the list goes on. The problem is that I tend to get analysis paralysis, 'What should I be doing now?' There are many ways to combat this, and often times it involves a list. The Impossible List is one of those lists.
I found The Impossible List during college and always wanted to start one. Like a bucket list, The Impossible List contains a broad list of things I would like to accomplish. The idea is that this list will go beyond the regular bucket list. A few examples:
- Having this list on my website holds me accountable
- This long-term list drives short-term goals
- Crossing something off of this list drives momentum.
But honestly, I just think it is really cool.
