Do you have a bucket list?

26 August 2013

You know what a bucket list is, right? It’s a list of things you want to do before you die.

I’m very goal-oriented, but I have to admit I’ve never taken the time to create a bucket list. Today, I read an article on Fast Company’s website called How Creating a Better Bucket List Becomes a Blueprint for Living Your Best Life-. It made me want to take some time out and really think about such a list.

I think my favorite part of the article might have been item number three: Improve your daily life. I love the idea of a bucket list not being all about single events, but rather about achieving goals that enhance your life.

I have a retreat coming up next month; if I don’t do it before then, I think I’ll take some time to create a really mindful bucket list.

I’m also a big believer in item number four: Build in accountability. Perhaps after I create this list, I’ll share it here!

I’ve got a “bucket list” in my head but nothing written down (yet). I think you’ve inspired me to write some of them down sooner rather than later!

That’s fantastic, Laurie! I hope you come up with a fantastic written list. Thanks for your comment.

We did a family bucket list this summer and it was awesome! I have two little ones so wasn’t anything too “adventurous” but gave us tons of ideas to do this summer – sprinkler, amusement parks, milkshake runs, etc. Was such a great summer and loved the bucket list I plan on doing it again for our cold (Canadian) winter!

How fun, Laura! Thanks for your comment. I think having a list of fun activities to choose from each season is a great idea. No more wondering, “What can we do today?” Just check the list!
