Start Working on Your Bucket List

This is probably not the first time you have heard of a bucket list, but if you have never 
had one, or not focused much on the one you already have, there has never been a 
better time to revisit the idea. A bucket list is simply a list of things you want to 
accomplish in your life. They can be places you want to visit, friends you want to catch 
up with, activities you want to learn, or things you want to get done in your life. 

Everyone has a different bucket list and a different reason for having one. As you age 
and into your later years, it is a great idea to work on your bucket list. It helps you to 
focus on your goals, find fulfillment in your life, and really enjoy life for what it s. 


Follow Your Passions

To start working on your bucket list, think about what your passions are. What activities 
bring you the most joy? What do you turn to when you have a day off to do what you 
want? What is your favorite form of self-care?

The answers to these types of questions usually leads to your biggest passions in life. 
Maybe when you have a weekend off, you enjoy going on a road trip because you love 
to travel. Or you are someone who enjoys having family over whenever you get the 
chance. Or maybe your favorite activities are creative ones, like drawing, writing, or 
creating something at home.

Think about your passions, then think of what aligns with them, that you have always 
wanted to do, but haven’t had the opportunity yet.


What Have You Always Wanted to Do?

This is the easiest way to start working on your bucket list. Think of things big and small 
that have been on your “life bucket list” that you haven’t yet done. Maybe there is a 
place you want to travel to, an activity like skydiving or scuba diving you always wanted 
to try, or a local event you seem to miss every time, that you want to make a point to go 
to. 

Your bucket list is personal to you and may include a wide range of things as small as 
books you want to read, to big things like owning your first house or buying a new car. 


Start Crossing Items Off

Once you have compiled a list of things you want to do, start figuring out what you can 
do soon, and what takes a little more planning. This might include saving money for a 
trip, or finding a friend to do a certain activity with you. Pin it up on your wall, put it in 
your planner, and really focus on crossing items off your list.
