My Impossible List

My Impossible List

As someone who wants to live his life to the full, I think it's fair to say that there are many things I would love to achieve in life. But I never really got around to making a physical list. I kept one in my mind which is probably why I never got around to doing anything.

Inspired by Thomas Frank and the original creator of the Impossible list, Joel Runyon, I decided to change that and create my very own Impossible List!

The Impossible List isn't actually a bucket list, it's an ever-evolving list of experiences and goals that you build upon each other. It's also a great way to show off your achievements and keep a record of them.
