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!
If you haven’t created a bucket list, you might want to check out this article!

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!

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!
