Are You Making A Leap List?

Tomorrow is February 29th -- Leap Day -- and that might give you a unique opportunity, especially if you like lists and long term planning.

Many people start every new year with a list of resolutions -- things you wish to accomplish in the next twelve months (and we all know how those usually turn out). On the other hand, some people have bucket lists, or a list of grand accomplishments they want to achieve and do before passing on. If you are looking for something between those two benchmarks, you might want to consider a leap list.

A leap list is just what it says it is -- a list of things you want to accomplish before the next leap day, which is in 2016. What do you see yourself doing in the near future? Getting married? Buying a house? Having children? Traveling to a foreign country? It's a fun activity that's even funner if you can actually cross some events off over the next almost-half decade.

By the way, the next Leap Day, in 2016, is a Monday (I can hear the complaints about working an extra day on Monday already). Leap Day doesn't fall on a weekend until 2020.
