Need some help brainstorming ideas for lists? It is actually really easy when you get in the right mindset. There are lists everywhere. Any magazine you pick up, and channel you change to, many movies you see, any website you surf, they all have lists! But here are some starter ideas if you are truly stuck! Be creative and start listing today!

	Favorite Places in Your City (or other towns) - restaurants, parks, public restrooms, bookstores, liquor stores and bars, etc. etc.
	Tips - everyone is good at something, help your fellow lister out and give 'em some how to tips
	Bucket Lists - make a life goals list of things to do before you die
	Personal To-Do Lists - to keep you on task
	Opinionated Commentary - reasons why I..., things to do when..., what I think about..., things I hate about..., things I love about...
	Gear Lists - things you need for a camping trip, things you need for a photo shoot, things you need when you travel abroad...
	Gift Ideas - Christmas gifts, Valentine's Day, birthday gifts, Father's Day, Mother's Day, anniversaries, etc.
	Vacation Spots - whether it's an archival list of places you've been, or places you want to go, and why!
	Cars - best accessories, top 4X4s, or anti-green gas guzzlers
	Celebrities - love 'em or hate 'em. they're fun to write (and read) about. who you admire, who gets on your last nerve, best dressed, most divorced, best hair extensions...you get the idea.
	Music - songs you want to download or CD's you want to check out, or great playlists for specific occasions (car rides, studying, Halloween, recently lonely, new love, etc.)
	Movies - ones you want to see (as a reminder for the next visit to Blockbuster), favorites within genres, or overrated ones that should Samuel L. Jackson should've never starred in
	Quotes - LAL is full of quotes lists, but there are plenty of ones left to make. Find things famous people have said, or group them in a category or genre like "Inspirational Quotes"
	Books - ones you want to read, ones you loved and would read again, or ones a 19-year-old Business student should read
	Video Games - whether you are a gen-X Wii player or an 80-something Atari fanatic, you've all played handfuls of games in your lifetime, which are the best? which are the worst? which had the hardest final bosses?
	Events - Just realized you missed the neighborhood cookout because you didn't know it was today? Make a list street fairs, concerts, speakers, conventions, ballgames, etc.
	Great Websites - what sites are helpful, amusing or intriguing? which ones eat away most of your time at work?
	Hobbies - for beer or wine connoisseurs, lawn gnomes, cycling, knitting or freshwater aquariums? Make a list of your favorite publications, sites or aficionados for your hobby.
	Pets - friendly places, parks, trails, restaurants, hotels or the best toys for a destructive chocolate lab
	Wish Lists - make personal wish lists to give to other people when they tell you "You are impossible to shop for"
	Sports - overrated teams, boring sports, or sexiest players you love or hate.
	Recipes - if you like to cook, or eat (who doesn't?), make a list of your favorite recipes to share with others in need
	Grocery list - after you read some recipe lists, you'll need to go to the store for some ingredients
	People - of celeb status or just people you know and love, lists about people are easy (especially when you hate them)
