Olu's Impossible Board

I can't remember how I heard of the "impossible list" but somehow while doing a random Notion clean-up, I found this page by Joel Runyon in my mood board and it hit me differently.

Reflecting on the meaning of "impossible" made me realize that my todos haven't been challenging enough. Most of them are things I could do if I just made time. And while I've done some bold things, like switching careers, getting two more degrees, moving countries, I never really saw them as "impossible." Tough? Sure. But not impossible!

Haha, Pardon the excessive use of "impossible".

Maybe it's because they were career-related, and somewhere deep down I believed anyone could do them. But then I looked at some other things that seem strangely hard for no clear reason and like Joel Runyon said, sometimes it feels like the impossible is reserved for a select group of cool kids. But who's to say I can't be one of them too?

So here we are. I've decided to create my own Impossible List, but with a twist. I'm borrowing Sam Rubin's approach and building mine like a kanban board. Why? Because I think it's just more intuitive for tracking what's in progress, what's been done, and what's still hanging in the realm of the impossible.

This board will keep growing, because life evolves and so will my goals. And of course it will be public, because:

• I hope it keeps me accountable.
• Maybe it'll remind you and I(the reader) that most things aren't really impossible.
• Also, let's be honest, this doubles as a brag sheet, and I'm only human.

So, welcome to my Impossible Board. Let's see how far we can stretch this thing.
