I ran across an idea in an old "Real Simple" magazine the other day while I was killing time in a waiting room. I have no idea how old the magazine was, but it was a January issue. The writer had created to-do lists for various people, including Genghis Khan, Steve Jobs and J.K. Rowling. That little nub of an idea turned out to be lots of fun.
Sarah Palin
1. Call First Dude
2. Go moose hunting
3. Sell the plane
4. Fire the cook
5. Put on lipstick
6. Tell lame joke
AIG Execs
1 for the bailout
2 for CEO
3 for the bonus
4 hit the road
Shakespeare
1. Sharpen quill
2. Sharpen wit
3. Trim beard to fine point
4. Decide to be or not to be
Jack Sparrow
1. Commandeer ship
2. Pillage and plunder
3. Swagger
4. Woo wench
Wee Willy Winky
1. Run through town in nightgown
2. Rap at windows
3. Cry at locks
4. Check status of children at 8 o'clock
Your turn! If you decide to scribble out some to-do lists, please let me know! I'd love to read what you come up with.
