This list started randomly on a piece of paper. I found it useful to categorize my interests based on whether or not I wanted them, and into four categories: active, passive, past, backlog. Doing this alongside deciding whether or not I was pleased with their placement was really useful for me sometimes in deciding whether or not what I was doing was actually in alignment with what I wanted.
