I feel like I can take on the world. What should I do?

I want to do something good and worthwhile, and I just had a surge of energy and felt ready to do anything. What can I do that'll leave me feeling accomplished?

Quick suggestions:

Clean your house, including the the most annoying parts you have been putting off forever.
Back up your computer(s), burn backup DVDs, another thing you have been avoiding, then reinstall all fresh and pretty with the latest everything.
Paint something. Everytime I want to paint a room/wall/house I get discouraged by all the prep and cleanup needed. Energy would help.
If you're a cook-type, inventory your pantry/fridge and make a perfect shopping list for all the groceries you need to cook your 10 favorite things. Then stock up with a couple of trips to the best shops (not just the most convenient).

That's all stuff that will pay off later, on days you don't have so much energy! :)

Yeah this feeling will pass momentarily. Don't worry about it too much.

Ah, this is like a one-day thing. Oops.

Go find a girl (if that's what you prefer, of course). If you're feeling that confident, you'll do well picking people up, or so I'm told.

First-- disregard the sterling wits up-thread.
Second-- figure out what got you to this wonderful feeling in the first place.
Third-- do something completely unexpected for someone in your past; make that phone call, send that thank-you note.
Fourth-- surprise a complete stranger with a gift or treat or favor. The pleasure will magnify.
Fifth-- give yourself something small and something rare.

Whatever it is, do it around and with people.

You should take on the world.
