As I complete these things I'll mark them differently in the list. For every thing on my list that I do not complete, I will donate $2 to a charity. I'd say that I'd donate more, but a bunch of my things already involve donating different things, so in the long run I'm sure I'll have donated quite the pretty penny worth of things.
