Impossible List

What is an Impossible List?

An Impossible List is a list of current goals and experiences that is meant to build off of itself. I had the idea of creating my own Impossible List after watching a video on the subject by Thomas Frank. The concept was originally created by Joel Runyon, an entrepreneur who wished to challenge himself to a set of tasks that would constantly evolve as he improved. I use this list as a way of goal-tracking.

My Impossible List is something that I will be focusing on heavily for the next year. I am incredibly easy to distract and if left to my own devices, I will surely join the circus by the time I am 25.
