Since "anything not on the list" in on the list, that means everything is on the list. Updating the list, we get: Items on this list 1. Anything not on this list. 2. Everything.

(Well, with everything on the list, nothing is, in fact, not on the list. Therefore, it gets included by item #1.) But, because nothing is on the list, we must revise it again: Items on this list

If anything not on the list is on the list, then it is not on the list anymore. But then that means it is on the list. Which then means it's not. Which means it is. Etcetera, etcetera.
But then, if we cancel it out to escape this loop, as Meister has done, we end up with nothing on the list, which means it can't be a list, because nothing is listed.
Tl;dr: This list cannot exist.

As long as he didn't provide a timetable, he would be telling the truth. His nose would stay the same length until he told a lie, at which point it would get longer, proving him right.

Also, because I didn't feel like responding to this last time: If anything not on the list is on the list, then it is not on the list anymore. But then that means it is on the list. Which then means it's not. Which means it is. Etcetera, etcetera.
But then, if we cancel it out to escape this loop, as Meister has done, we end up with nothing on the list, which means it can't be a list, because nothing is listed.
Tl;dr: This list cannot exist.
Item 1 says that anything not specifically included in the list is to be included in the list. Nowhere does it say that items included in the list are to be removed. Your list is not necessarily paradoxical. It depends on how the data is handled.
