The Impossible List: My Favorite Goal-Tracking Tool - College Info Geek

Nope, it's not a bucket list. The Impossible List is a goal-tracking tool that's iterative and evolves as you progress through life.

I've been using mine since I was a sophomore, and I can confidently say it's the most useful "tool" out of any I have for making progress on my goals.

Here's my Impossible List:

If you decide to build you own and you want to put it on a website or blog, here's a guide I wrote:

My book "10 Steps to Earning Awesome Grades" is now out and it's free! Get it here (and get a copy of my graduation planning spreadsheet as well):

One of my goals is to be able to speak english as good as you do. I mean at the same speed you do and as clearly as well. You"re an inspiration. Thank you.

I hope you're gonna read this because I must say, that for just having 15, 000 subscribers your quality and content are simply amazing, you deserve far more maybe 150, 000/300, 000 subscribers but I'm sure you'll reach there ;)
2 videos and I already subscribed, keep up the good work and let me apologize for my English bro

Man, this really motivates me! I realized that all my little problems (study, diet, sport, etc) have something in common: I'm not rigorous. I want to create a routine and stay focused, and your videos are really motivating me! Thank you for your work!

If someone asked me right now what is my goal in life, I would surely say that it is to become Thomas Frank. Seriously. You're simply amazing!

This is a fantastic idea and I am so happy that you found it so I could find it on your blog and make my own. This will be yet another one of the amazing ways you've helped me kick my ass into gear and not only be more productive, but help find myself.
Thanks a ton and I look forward to more great blog posts, videos, and beloved podcasts.

I love the concept of the Impossible List, and I'm so glad I was introduced to it through this video! Thank you so much, as it's helped me to become more active in achieving my goals and building upon those goals!

I'm a huge fan of self-improvement and I have a lot of aspirations but I get discouraged because it's hard to narrow down everything and it feels impossible to achieve; however, this video was really helpful and made reinspired me to take on the list of things I want to do (except in a more orderly fashion)! Thank you Thomas! Love your channel!

[missdanichaves]

Thumbs up for your awesome tip and the badass edit of your video. Seriously, always flawless. Well done.
