The context

In 2019, last year, I had a great time and enjoy various projects. But this year, I wanted to be more productive and progress faster to my main goal: becoming a more complete human, improve & grew up as an Artist, Senior Developer & Entrepreneur. 

To do so, I started a bucket list for 2020 on the 2nd January which I transformed into this Impossible List while I was taking the excellent course “Real Productivity: How to Build Habits That Last” on Skillshare by Thomas Frank. 

The principle of an Impossible list

The principle of an impossible list is to have an overview of the goals you want to achieve this year. Then you break it in simple tasks which can be achieved by creating habits and updating them once they are done. The goal is not to finish all this year ( its impossible :) ) but to slowly progress while creating new habits.

Keeping an online easy to share and editable version is recommended as its here to motivate and help you to keep an high focus on your goal.
