Things to Do When You Don't Feel Like Making a List

1. Make a list anyway.

Just start. See where it goes.

2. Make a list of possible lists.

This is almost always useful. Keep it handy to prompt you later when you're having trouble thinking of something.

3. Don't worry about the audience. Write for yourself.

4. Keep drafts handy.

Start lists when they occur to you. Finish them later.

5. Yes, 10 matters for stretching the idea muscle....

6. On the other hand, done is better than perfect. Keep up the habit, even if you don't hit 10.

7. Like today.

There.
