25 Mind-bending Lists
This article from ZenCopy, which I'm following in a feeble attempt to get rid of writer's block.
We’re a list-happy society. We list things to do, things we’ve done, things we’d like to do, things we’d never do, things we ought to do but know we won’t…and on and on into the night. Wouldn’t it be great if you could create lists and then never have to worry about doing anything with them? Well, you can!
Lists don’t have to be confined to a straight jacket existence.
The act of listing can be very creative.
You can use creative listing to expand your creative mind and strengthen the power of your creative thoughts.
