My hidden suitcase

Last month I have spent a really interesting evening with a friend of mine talking about “things to do”. She was more focus on things to do in 1 year and more precisely she was thinking a list with the things that would make next year memorable. To have the time to write a to-do list it’s a really nice exercise, it’s not immediately, it’s not easy but could help you to focus on your next achievement, on something that you really want to do and discharging everything that could let you waste your time. I chose to focus my attention on what to do at least once in lifetime because I really like that theme. In the last weeks I have read a lot of “things to-do”, I have take inspiration by them and later on I have rielaborate in a personal way the concepts.
