Only 2 more lists to go :|

THE BIG IDEA

So often these days, I find myself bored beyond all recognition, and as a result, I feel bad about myself, have a lower self esteem, and don't do as well as I could be doing. So...I had a revelation. An idea to keep myself focused.

Here it is. Bear with me. You might not think it a great idea, but in my messed up little mind it all works. I am going to create three lists.
A list of "things to do before I die", a list of "things to do" and a list of "things I haven't done". I think this will be able to give me a series of short term, and long term goals to make both myself happy and keep me from being as bored; because I could be doing a list item instead of nothing.

I'll explain each list, don't worry :)

"Things to do before I die": Right, well, everyone wants to do certain things in the 70 odd years they have on this planet, so why not write down these things I want to do, and then complete each one. Some, may be a little mental, but hey...gotta try everything once! Codenamed: Arthur

"Things to do": Okay, well...I have an idea of what I want to do when I'm older. So, until then, what do I do? Well, this list will give me an idea of what I could be doing rather than getting bored. The list items will be achievable and something which I want to do. Good idea. Right? Codenamed: Jerry

"Things I haven't done": Well...things I haven't done. Let's see...Some things I have yet to try. These could be good things, and bad things. So, I could of course keep track of them on this handy little list :) Codenamed: Chris

Now just to create these lists!
