"Are you 'disrupting' list ­making?.. So you’re democratizing lists..."

"When you provide a structure in the form of a list, there is, in a utopian way, a real chance to democratize the power of writing, by taking away what people are wrongly intimidated by...."

"Meta" is getting confused with "pseudo" all over this world, and I think it's of international significance beyond anything else. It's metaserious man!

The difference between dreams and goals is that goals are written down with detailed action plans; check offs, and as needed revised or cancelled. This will require a list. A list of your top seven goals makes the difference between success and failure, between rich and poor, between love and alone, and between happiness and sadness. Writing that list of goals is the most important task. Start today and do not let anyone disrupt you. Be very careful, for anything, you write down will come true. Oh, you have to read, act and revise them every day while keeping the list as read only by you. You will be greatly surprised at your success and help by others. My mentor said “best to be a meaning full specific than a wandering generality.” Love ya too.

First thing on a list:
1 - Make list.

Maybe the author could trade his or her pen for a box of pretty crayons.

Making lists is a cure for listlessness.
