I'm a list-maker. I make to-do lists at work and home, shopping lists, cleaning lists, etc. So it makes sense that I would also have a list of life's to-dos. Unlike others who have a top 50 or 100, my list changes, grows, or shortens as my life changes. These are things that have pretty consistently been on my list over the years. Everyday is a day closer to accomplishing one or more. The others, give me something to look forward to for tomorrow. I hope you'll find some motivation, inspiration, or incitation to make and live your own list.
