What is Holding You Back?

Partial list of things I would do if I had more time and/or more money.

Each should be viewed independently. The substitution among them would either imply even more time/money is needed or they simply would not be done any more than they are currently as they compete for room in my basket of things.

Of course, more money almost always can buy more time, but I've chosen to focus here on those things for which time and/or money is the essential scarce resource.

[edited to add] These are in no particular order--just listed as they came to me.

*Look for a future post on philanthropy in which I chastise the field and narrowly define that which passes the "Shazam Test" (TBD). Include in this category advocacy.
