We should all dump our obsession with bucket lists. Reverse bucket lists are where it's at.
Bucket lists are filled with wants and dreams. When we get what we want or achieve our dreams, it's a nice feeling, at least for a while. Then we need something else.
It all comes back to the "satisfaction formula": satisfaction = getting what you want.
But you never really stop wanting things, and so, well, are you ever really satisfied?

The real formula for satisfaction:
Satisfaction = what you have/what you want.
While we can, to some extent, increase our haves, our real control lies in our wants. If we whittle down the wants, our satisfaction increases. In others words, if we create reverse bucket lists -- lists of wants to do away with -- we'll find ourselves closer to satisfaction in the present.

The Reverse Bucket List works like this:
You want a bigger office -- but the price tag would require you to hold off on the rollout of new employee benefits or raises.
Ask yourself: Do I NEED a new office? Or is it merely a want (reverse bucket list)? And if it's a want, how can I turn it instead into money, supplies, or support for my team (giving list)?

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
