A friend of mine posted to his twitter account today that he was starting to compile his list of 100 things to do before he died, a.k.a a bucket list.
I’ve always been fascinated by these lists. I had a friend in college who had compiled goals for just his 4 years at the university – which included appearing on the Real World.
Goals are important and necessary for the majority of the human population. But when you put in the perspective of your entire life, what shapes those goals?
So here is my challenge to you.
Make your own “bucket list”. Try to hit 100 but if you can only think of 50 or 25, no big deal. You can include goals you have already achieved, but be sure to note that it is complete (i.e. include date, etc). Once completed, email the list as an attachment to katie [at] katiecharland [dot] com.
I will compile the lists and figure out what are the most common goals, what are the most unusual and such, posting the results to this blog.
Can’t wait to see your responses.
Fun! Lists!
