The Great To-Do.

I've decided to create an eternal and neverending to-do list--- that is, instead of making a new one every few days like I've been doing, I'm just going to continually update one very large to-do list. Then, everyday, I'm going to attempt to complete at least five items on that list...no matter what the cost. The catch is this:

1) I will do whatever five to-do's get the most votes, by you, readers.
2) I will only do five at one time, and, once done, may not repeat them unless they are entered into the list.
3) Once decided , the five to-do's are set in stone.
4) Against each To-do, the reader may raise a challenge in addition to the to-do--- That is, if the to-do is "Go to Spain," you may challenge it with something like, "Go to Spain, WHERE YOU MUST attack a windmill with a lance."

Also, the order in which the five to-do's will also be largely up to the votes made by you, readers. Some to-do's take longer than usual, or may require larger funds than I happen to have at that moment--- thus, not all of them can be done the instant they're decided to be done. However, those obsticles are no excuse--- once the five to-do's are decided, the decision is set in stone. Further, I will take suggestions on what to add to the list (though, ultimately, I'll decide what I intend to do.)
Though I may consciously attempt to do five to-do's at once, should the easy opportunity arrise to do any other items on the list, or, in doing the to-do, other to-do's are also satisfied, there is no reason why not to do it. That is, I am not limited to only five, so long as the selected five are also in the process of being done.
This list is intented to last a lifetime. While it will be numbered, the number is in no way at all meant to represent the order in which these goals must be completed---it's simply to keep track of the size of the list. Goals are entered in the order that they are thought of.
Lastly, the list can only be comprised of things I can actually do. For instance, I can put, "Travel to India," because I can consciously decide to do that, with nothing but a bit of work in the way. However, I cannot put, "Win the Lottery," on the list, as that's not actually something I can actually do because of my conscious decision to do so. (If it were, I'd be rich, obviously.) I could, however, write "Play the lottery," which I can do just fine.

I suppose that's all of the ground rules; if I remember one I forgot, or the need for a new one arises, I'll be sure to take care of it.
