Impossible List
a bucket list, except better
The Impossible List is like a bucket list on steroids. The concept was created by Joel Runyon, and I learned about it through Thomas Frank.
Unlike a bucket list, which is static and often just sits there, an Impossible List is a living document. When you complete a goal, you add a harder one. It's about continuous growth and pushing your limits.
My impossible list contains goals that would push my personal limits. Although personal, I still would love to share my list with the world to feel more accountable to get stuff on it done!
