Think about all of the things that you would like to achieve
and experience before you kick the bucket. This is your bucket
list or list of things to do before you die.
You might want to section your list into different areas:
experiences, movies, shows, stories, music, etc.
It is a strange fact that the people who have accomplished the
most things in life tend to have the biggest number of items
still left in their buckets. People with no goals in the future
also tend to have no accomplishments in their past.
If you are struggling to think of items, try the following
visualisations... Imagine that you are attending a school
reunion. What would you like to be able to tell your old
classmates about your life? Imagine the eulogies at your
funeral. What would you want people to remember about you?
Nothing is too strange, silly, pointless, small, big, or weird
to add to the bucket list. You should feel free to include
anything at all. But remember, this is a list for you to strive
towards so it would be wise to avoid goals that are physically
impossible.
You should not delete something from your list after you have
accomplished it because this was once your goal so it must
remain even if it now seems silly or pointless.
You should not delete something simply because it becomes too
difficult. You should never give up on your goals.
You should only ever delete something if it becomes physically
impossible. A goal that cannot ever be reached due to death or
other constraints would only serve to remind you of your loss,
so it is better for it to be deleted.
You can modify a goal before it is achieved if you change your
mind or if it becomes less important to you.
You should indicate when each item on your list has been
achieved or experienced. If you achieve or experience something
that is not on your list but would have been if you had thought
of it before you did it, feel free to add it anyway.
