About
A few years ago I made a life list. Big goals to finish before you die. Travel the world. Run a marathon. Buy a house. Good goals. None of them help on a boring Tuesday.
A few weeks ago I found side quests. Small fun missions on the side of normal life, like in video games.
So I built a collection. Over 600 side quests. Each one rated by:
Time: 5 minutes to a full weekend
Cost: free to a splurge
Difficulty: start today to real nerve
Coolness: quiet fun to once in a lifetime
A few examples:
Watch the sunrise with no phone
Learn 10 constellations
Cook breakfast on a camp stove in the park
Mail a friend a postcard for no reason
Ride a longboard down a steep hill
Pick one by your mood. Go do one today.
