Share your Life to-do list and/or your Bliss List :)

[Alarin]

I've always found Life "to-do" lists fascinating (like this one by adventurer John Goddard), and recently heard about another type of list called a "Bliss List" which is a list of things you really love like chocolate icecream with whipped cream

What does your "Life List" or a "Bliss List" have on it ??

I really like the idea of writing a "Bliss list".

This reminds me of an episode of This American Life on superpowers, where they talked to a woman who made one of these lists in her teens:

Wonder Woman. Kelly McEvers with the story of Zora, a self-made superhero. From the time she was five, Zora had recurring dreams in which she was a 6'5" warrior queen who could fly and shoot lightning from her hands. She made a list of all the skills she would need to master if she wanted to actually become the superhero she dreamed of being. Sample items: martial arts, evasive driving and bomb diffusion. She actually checked off most things on the list... and then had a run-in with the CIA.
