In Stuck in Downward Dog, Mara creates The OM List, a top 10 To-Do List as a pathway to personal perfection. A means to self improvement. A way to get unstuck.

I, like Mara, enjoy making lists and can create a list on nearly any topic. I make lists of books to read, birthday cards to send, thank you notes to pen, gifts to buy, chores to do, accessories I want and recipes to try. I even make lists of lists I need to make. And while I may not always accomplish everything on every list I ever make (LIKE“recipes to try”), I do find that making lists helps me to organize my thoughts. Plus, it’s an excuse to buy a pretty new pen and notebook.

You don’t actually need to be as hopeless as Mara to make—or need—a list. You certainly don’t even need to accomplish everything on every list. But I think making a list is a useful and engaging way to get inspired and motivated, no matter the topic. Feeling inspired? You can print out this form, then jot down your own list. Need inspiration? Read my list of the month below.

Have a great list you want to share? Send your list to me and I just might post it here.
