Arrow "My Life List", John Goddard

I just found out about this guy, John Goddard, he is fascinating!

Quote:
How would you like to climb the highest mountain, fly at the speed of sound, explore the ocean in a submarine, run a five minute mile, parachute from a plane, read the encyclopedia cover to cover, or play classical music on the piano?

These are some of the dreams John Goddard had as a child, and at age 15 he included these on a list -- 127 things he would like to do or see or experience during his lifetime. Today, John is 74, and he has completed 109 of his goals.

That's a great idea... imagine writing down everything you dream of and then actually complete around 85% of the things.

Wonder if he added to the list during his life?

Talking My Own Life List

You know I read about him in a Tony Robbins book about 20 years ago. It wasn't until recently that I decided to do my own list. I've some items crossed off but I have to admit that I'm not moving as fast as I'd like to. Off the top of my head I have a few self suggestions for myself.
  1. Create a Time Constraint
  2. Make a Backwards List
  3. Focus on One List Item at a time

1. Create a time constraint:
Obviously this means that by adding an end date to each item I'll be able to focus a little more on that particular item.

2. Make a backwards list
By moving backwards from the target I can come up with a plan. For example in my 'eliminate my debt' item I came up with...
  • Recieve receipt for final payment
  • Make final debt consolidation payment
  • Begin consolidation payments
  • Make arrangements with consolidation company
  • Research consolidation companies and choose one
  • Obtain list of debts

This is a partial list of course but by working up from the bottom I can have a plan. Also by adding time constraints to each of those items I can laser focus my goal.

3. Focus on one item at a time.
This one is obvious. Spreading myself all over my life list defocuses me and I wind up not doing any of them.

These actually have worked for me. I sure would like any other suggestions.

Default The List

Everyone should have a 'bucket list' but also make sure to live life to the fullest along the way because even through all good intentions sometimes we are diverted from the list. Just start off with one or two things and add as you go!
