The author reflects on the nature of lists as a way to document intentions and plans, drawing parallels between lists and the concept of conglomerate outcrops. While lists serve practical purposes and help organize thoughts for various projects, they also evoke feelings of nostalgia and missed opportunities. The act of creating a list can become a way to explore ideas and engage in research, sometimes diverging from productivity norms, revealing a complex relationship between purpose and the act of listing itself.
Lists serve as documentation of our intentions, creating a palpable sense of possibility. They contain the hopes and plans that may not always materialize.
Engaging in research might feel indulgent, yet it's a practice that encourages exploration beyond the conventional boundaries of productivity and purpose.
