There’s a true listmania in the blogosphere. Lists are a very popular way to get information across, and most bloggers use them regularly. At first I noticed mainly the top 5, top 10, top 20 and top 100 lists. Pretty standard stuff. Until I saw the first 42 list at ZenHabits, then a 78 list at Life Learning Today, a 33 list at Steve Pavlina’s and so on.
So I set myself the challenge to compile a list of lists, counting down from 100 to 1. The items on the list deal with self-improvement, productivity, language, money, entrepreneurship, leadership, simplicity, love, blogging, health and the environment. Oh and I added some just for fun too.
There are two is one gap, number 97 and 83. The first bloggers that send me a link to a list with those amount of items in one of the categories I mentioned, will get listed. Thanks Rob!
And now for the list of lists, the mother of all lists, the portal to the blogosphere’s infinite wisdom, the … yeah yeah, we get it! Just show me the money list.

Thanks for the links and the mention too! What a cool idea! For number 1 I think Leo at ZenHabits had a post recently where he had to list one thing and the one thing was simplicity. Here’s the link: http://zenhabits.net/2007/05/single-best-productivity-tip/
And also I had a guest post there called The Amazing Power of One (http://zenhabits.net/2007/05/the-amazing-power-of-one/)
I’ll see if I can find you 83 or 97 too!
Thanks again!

@AgentSully: Thanks! Still if there’s only one item on the list…it’s not really a list, now is it. Both articles are excellent though.
@Rob: Thanks for the link. I added it to the list. Most of the points are useful even 10 years later. It strikes me how “up to date” #65 is.
