This is my Journey List (my version of the Impossible List). A collection of dreams/tasks that I will complete and keep it growing along the way.

I previously had a bucket list created which I lost and don’t know where that is at the moment. It was fun creating that. The thoughts that went through of me performing all those activities one day were surely adrenaline-pumping ones. That day I was adventure savvy running around doing all sorts of things – well, in my head. But yeah, I forgot about it after some time and finally lost it. I was under the assumption that I’m not going to do any of that, so all is well in the end.

But later on, this year (well, 2020) I was watching Thomas Frank, a Productivity Youtuber and I came to witness the concept – The Impossible List, which is in short like Thomas said on his website, “an ever-evolving list of experiences.” Also, credit to the creator – Joel Runyon.

Calling my list, the Impossible List felt weird – why Impossible. For a person like me, who sees and does things, saying Impossible List, just made me think this is impossible and not to bother about it. So, I changed it the name to my “Journey List”, which is more friendly and suitable, as life is a journey for everyone including me.
