Your list is your past and your future

A list is a collection with purpose. Lists bring order to the chaotic universe.

Whenever I need to figure out my life - I make a list. I make lists to keep my anxiety levels down. I lose that vague nagging sense that there are an overwhelming number of things to be done.

A list gets all your ideas out of your head and clears the mental space so you’re actually able to do something about them.

You will someday die with items still on your list, but for now, while you live, your list helps prioritise - today, this week, and eventually - what can be done in your limited time.

Patches were torn from Austin Kleon, Mary Roach and Tom Sachs this week.

Dream intentionally - and make lists - while you’re awake.
