The “I Can” Exercise.

Here was a meme that I couldn't resist from Aidel Maidel...

The Rules are simple:

• You have 15 minutes and 15 minutes only. Time yourself.
• No making changes once the list is completed beyond correcting spelling mistakes.
• Be Honest. It's okay if it's silly or strange or weird or disconcerting.
