Already laid it out!

I don't have one, no. I'm more of a day to day person I think. I'm not sure, but I have done sort of well in life with this approach, and I am not an overly ambitious guy. Lists always sounds like over thinking, and I like to do my overthinking in my HEAD.

:-D

But seriously, I had one- I did a 101 things/1001 days list a year or so back. It was really helpful to have articulated a list of things I wanted to do- I found that some things happened without my actively trying to do them to check them off the list. I will make another list soon, though maybe not with such a strict timeline.

Not that hard for me. I'm pretty idealistic and earnest with this stuff.

Lifetime:
Foster or Adopt
Publish
Travel Europe
Learn a Third Language
Learn to Fly
Buy a House
Give all my love away

(Actual in the next 6 months:
Learn Scuba
LSD
Buy a House
Nail a Black Diamond Run, no falling)

Last 6 months should I be terminally ill:
LSD
Travel Europe
Give all my love away

I don't have a list, although I think the idea of list is fun and good.

If I can get a few good books, meals, and some vacations thrown into a long and healthy life, I'll die a happy woman.

I don't really have a life list, though at present I am consciously doing a lot of the things I won't be able to do much of for a while if I have children, including getting lots of training, advancing in my profession, going on music courses etc.

If I really did only have six months, though, I'd probably try to see as much of the world as I could. And try to take as many of my friends with me as I could manage, as I wouldn't want to be without them in my last six months.

My life plan extends well into next week, although I have nothing special planned so it's not terribly interesting.

I had one of these at one point in time, but I haven't really updated it. It's probably about time.

I suspect that if I'd created an actual list a decade ago, it would've led me down a path away from all the incredible stuff I'm doing now. I think I'll continue holding off on creating a list until I can't think of anything fun to do.

eamondaly read my mind. Perhaps I should put mindreading on my list...?

Here's a few of the ones I have already done:

Traveled overseas
Modeled in a fashion show
Acted in Vagina Monologues
Learned some beginning carpentry
Petted a lion
Learned to drive (at age 32. This was a big one for me.)

Some I haven't done yet:

Learned carpentry well enough to build a park bench
Re-taken Calculus with at least a C grade
Learned basic car repair
Sighted a painted bunting
Written that first romance novel

The biggest problem with my life list is that I want to learn how to do EVERYTHING.

The biggest problem with my life list is that I want to learn how to do EVERYTHING.

Not long ago a friend was telling me about a strategy to relieve people of the anxiety they feel when they want to do EVERYTHING. It was actually to take this head on: to sit down and write the real list of every single thing you want to do, be, see, and learn between now and death.

The point was this: sometimes we get all breathless imagining the limitless possibilities and it's stressful wondering how we'll EVER get it all in.

But if you actually do this - if you aim to write down the 1000 things you really really want to do - it turns out that there really aren't 1000, and there is actually a good chance that leading your life will bring many of them to you. I did it - over two or three days as things occurred to me - and found this bore itself out. It's quite a long list, but I realized huh - assuming I'm around anout 30, 40 years, this stuff can happen.

So I still have this list - it's not 1000 but it's way too long to post here. But I also get a great feeling out of looking back at how many things I've actually done that I knew, even as a kid, that I wanted to do. Making a list of awesome experiences you've already had is a fun thing to do, too.

the long-term one: get in a position where I do as little as I have to so I can do as much as I want to.

the mid-term plan:
- get back into school, finish degree #1 (BA Social+Cognitive Psych/American Studies)
- work for 2-ish years, get jaw surgery, get braces off.
- pay off above debts, have travelling moneys
- go travelling; either south pacific and then back via southeast asia, or europe
- come back, go to school for degree #2 in either communications or industrial design
- finish degree #2, go to whichever place I didn't go after degree #1
- come back, grow old, do some shit.

the short-term plan:
- brush teeth
- go to bed.
