What is a Bucket List and Why Is It Useful?
Having a bucket list is a great way to keep track of what you want to accomplish and do before you turn a certain age.
A lot of people find it useful to write down what they want to do on a physical bucket list. It helps them identify what they really want, visualize it and be reminded of it.
The bucket list then becomes a nice guide that you can go back to for inspiration!
It's a great way of organizing your ideas and helping you put together a plan of action to make your dreams come true.
Your bucket list could be digital or written out on paper. You can write your digital bucket list on a classic Word document, on your phone’s notes app or on a special bucket list app.
If you go the digital route, we recommend saving your list and making sure it’s backed up, so you don't lose it.
A lot of people prefer to write their bucket list down on paper in a journal or notebook.
When putting your bucket list together, ask yourself:
- What do I want to accomplish or do before I reach 30?
- Why do I want to accomplish that?
- How do I accomplish that? What do I need to start doing today to reach this goal by the age of 30?
Now you’re ready to build your bucket list. Feel free to draw from our very own list of ideas down below.
