150+ Bucket List Ideas
Bucket lists, before I die lists, pre-wedding lists, pre-baby lists, goals lists. You get the idea. Lists work for me. They make me strive to work towards what I set out to achieve. They also make me prioritize and follow through. They organize my thoughts. Not everyone finds this useful.
For some people the mere thought of writing down and recording thoughts is a huge burden. Here, I present my little list. It’s been a work in progress for as long as I’ve been able to write thoughts down and is constantly changing and being updated.
Any things you would add? Let me know!
