This is a very cool idea. I've done it with the kids (the boredom list), but not myself. I tend to keep the ideas in my head where, of course, they scatter like seeds in the wind. :) I'm supposed to be writing press releases for our community theatre right now, but instead I'm reading your blog and dreaming up my list (which if I know what's good for me, best include writing PR....!!).
