So, when the local ABC Open called for submissions to their Open Story project recently, rather than thinking "one day I would like to do that" I took the bull by the horns and attended the workshop.  In order to support the arts in my community I did what I could to promote the workshop to others, particularly those who I didn't think would hear about it otherwise but who would be interested.  I also agreed to be interviewed for the local paper to further spread the word, and the story made a beautiful front page article highlighting the arts in our community.  And now, I am using the material I wrote as the content for my blog post.

The alternate scenario could have been that I thought "one day I would like to do that but I can't now" and then spent the day of the workshop begrudgingly selling raffle tickets for the local arts council fundraiser, spent another day depressed by the article on the front page of the local newspaper printed because the Editor couldn't find an alternative for the week and then another day thinking of a topic and writing my blog!

What activities could you modify to better capture your "one day" list?
