I'm late to this, I found your website via a search on "Twitter Accountability". I loved the idea of a Twitter accountability partner - or even using all of my Twitter followers as an accountability board. This list is VERY ambitious. I know because I've made lists that are a near duplicate of this. Some of these things will just take plain old time - so be careful not to burnout. My daughter spent one summer watching every single Johnny Depp movie. And with work, volleyball camp, miscellaneous road trips, and just plain old hanging out with friends - it took her the whole summer. And Robin Williams has been a lot more prolific. Plus, to be fair - not all of his movies are even watchable ;-) And I assume #48 is before #41? I'm going to spend some time making my list this weekend. I might make a shorter list - with less days. If I know I have a 1001 days to do something - I'll end up waiting until day 971 to get started. I’ll help you out with #2.

I HAVE always wanted to do a split! I'll take you out for Ethiopian food when you come to Walden, k? Nice list- I hope you don’t mind if I use some of yours as inspiration for my list.

As for giving up coffee ... just to say I did. Sometimes my tolerance gets a wee bit too high (like the day I had six shots of espresso at LuLu's, then a double espresso at the SC Diner, then took a nap) and it's good to reset it.

Re #56: A friend of mine is working at the Hoover institute right now as a research assistant helping Prof. Leeson, the man creating The Friedman Papers - essentially sorting every piece of work Friedman put his name to, including personal correspondences. Reading all of Friedman's books is certainly possible. Reading all of his journal articles and books is tough, but possible. But reading everything he wrote (pertaining to economics) is a hell of a task - they've literally got a whole room full of boxes full of his papers. I never appreciated how prolific the man was until I saw it, it's absolutely incredible. That man was a true believer. I'll try to forward anything I get my hands on, but I can't promise much - they're being oddly protective...

I love the way you categorized them. They run the gamut from fairly mundane to incredibly ambitious. I'm never one for making lists or being remotely organized or goal-oriented, really, but there's some inspiration to be taken from this. Very cool. -Jon I love your goals.

Lots of great stuff. And just to give you a head's up, so you're not disappointed, I grew up near Walden Pond and it isn't anything like what it was when Thoreau was there. So don't imagine that you'll be heading out into the wilderness! I'll definitely be following along to see how you do with these. And thanks for the link to my <a href="http://www.evolvingtimes.com/2007/09/with-36-hours-of-extra-free-time-i-would.htm" rel="nofollow">36-hours of free time post</a>.
