A bucket list was initially a tool used to encourage terminally ill patients to set goals for what they wanted to achieve in the time they had left. They usually put things on their list such as visit a special place, try a new activity, or meet someone famous. Often with the support and assistance of family, friends and medical staff they could achieve their goal. Once you have drawn up your agenda, fulfilling your bucket list can take planning, commitment and determination to achieve the goals.
There are no hard and fast rules about how many tasks you can set for yourself. However, if you set too many goals you may become disheartened and give up. Starting with around ten or twelve tasks ranging from easily achievable to the more complex or difficult is what most people do. Simple tasks such as reading a specific book, or writing that letter you have meant to do for months once completed, can give you the motivation needed to try something more complex.
When you are setting the timescales for completing all the tasks and goals you want to achieve, allow for some flexibility without being too loose with timings. Some individuals use months, years, or birthdays as their completion goal. Use whatever timescale you feel is appropriate and will allow you to complete all the tasks successfully.
If you are unused to setting yourself goals, starting off with simple things that can stretch you, without overwhelming you, will build your self-confidence as you see the tasks completed. Use positive statements when compiling, thinking or talking about your tasks, by using I will, rather than I would like, or I should. A positive attitude can go a long way to helping you achieve important goals.
Some goals may require planning and research before they can be completed. Others involving travel, or purchasing or hiring equipment for an activity will have a financial impact and you might want to set up a savings goal. You need to take into account any external factors or arrangements you will need to make when setting your goals.
You do not have to do all the tasks alone. Enlisting the help of friends to help you achieve goals can provide you with the support and encouragement needed to fulfil your dreams. Taking up new activities or going on a trip can be more fun when shared with others.
If you need inspiration about what to include, a search on the internet will provide you with hundreds of ideas. Try to come up with diverse range of tasks that you really want to do. Keep in mind that our interests and hobbies can often change with time.
Fulfilling your bucket list should help to stretch you both emotionally and physically. You should be left feeling that you have accomplished something special for you when you complete a task. If the items on the agenda are things that you do frequently or even infrequently, it is unlikely you will gain from the experience.
