Impossible List

Bucket lists are often just a list of cool things to do, that often don’t inspire action. Impossible lists seek to break this cycle by inspiring action. Inspired by Thomas Frank and Joel Runyon my impossible list is a record of ongoing experiences and achievements that build upon each other and give a publicly accountable incentive for me to achieve my goals.

Current Focuses:

  • Publish a Piece of Software I created
  • Run a Half Marathon in Under 90 Minutes
