"The LIST"

Vox has requested that I introduce and explain "The LIST" to all the Floatinghead fans. So a couple of years ago I decided that I was not going to let time pass me by without doing some of the things that I always wanted to do. I wanted and still want to make sure that not only do I accomplish everything that I want in my lifetime but that I also go everywhere that I want to and see everything that I want to. Hence, the creation of "The LIST".

Every year I come up with things that I need to get done before the year is out. Last year I had 7 things on my LIST and only did 3, 42% of the things that I set out to do. This year I am a bit more ambitioud, I put 12 things on my list, thus far I can checked off 4 things, 33% and still going.

Don't get me wrong the LIST is not like the 10 commandments or anything, it's just a way for me to keep track of what I do and what I want to do. And all my items are not necessarily big items like find the meaning of life, they are simple things like visiting a new state or going to a basketball game (see previous post to see how disappointed I was after going to see the Knicks play). I do have some rules that I made up to keep my LIST within reason, I can't have more than 12 items on the list on any given year, and unaccomplished items from last year can roll over into the new year if possible.

This process inspires me to stay on top of things that really mean a lot to me. Feel free to adopt the same method if you want (although I know some people are not into lists of any kind, I'm just a neat freak). Hope it helps anyone out there that was looking for something similar to hold themselves accountable.
