The Impossible List
What is an impossible list?
Stealing this idea from Thomas Frank who in turn stole it from Joel Runyon, an impossible list is an ever-growing list of high, hard goals that you wish to achieve. I’ll break out everything below into categories and keep things up to date for you! I imagine the progress made here will turn into articles later on. Gotta document the new discoveries and lessons learned.
