What’s on your Bucket List? 111 Things to Do in a Lifetime

What’s on your Bucket List? 111 Things to do in a Lifetime

A few days ago, I was surfing online when I came across someone’s bucket list. It quickly inspired me to create my own list and write an article about it at the same time.

What does Bucket List mean?

If you haven’t heard about the term “bucket list”, it is a list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill and life experiences you desire to have in a lifetime. It’s a forum to set anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to do, whether it’s big, small or random.

It was made popular from the movie called “The Bucket List” that I recommend to watch it, if you didn’t do yet -where two terminally ill guys (Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, in 2007) meet in a hospital and then set out on an adventure to try and do everything on their lists.

Why create a Bucket List?

If you don’t live your days by personal goals and plans, chances are you spend most of your time caught up in a day to day activities. Ever felt that your days are passing you by without any tangible output to speak of? What did you accomplish in the past 3 months? What are your upcoming goals for the next 3 months? Look at the things you did and the things you’re planning to do next – Do they mean anything to you if you are to die today? Having a bucket list reminds you of what’s really important so you can act on them. A bucket list opens up the context.

It’s just like planning ahead all the highlights you want for YOUR whole life. ?  Even though goal setting is already my staple activity, I still found many new things to do while I was writing on my own list. It was an incredibly insightful exercise. What’s more, coming up with my list gave me a whole new layer of enthusiasm knowing what’s in store ahead!

Do you even have a Bucket List? Create one!

If you don’t have a bucket list, I highly recommend you to create one. How much will it cost? Zero. How long will it take? Probably 30 minutes to an hour, or more if you get really caught up in the writing. ? What do you stand to gain? Significant clarity and focus on what you want from your life. It’s an invaluable exchange. ?

If you already have your list, take this opportunity to review it. See if there are new items you want to add on. If so, add them in. Check if all the items listed are still relevant. If not, remove them.

Now, take out your pen and paper or open up a text document. Start writing down what comes to mind.

Come up with as many items as you can. The items should be things you have not done yet. Don’t stop until you finish listing at least 111 things! If you find yourself stuck, chances are you are mentally constraining yourself. Your bucket list is meant to be a list of everything you want to achieve, do, see, feel and experience in your life.
