Bucket List – 1000 Things to do Before You Die

Why Have a Bucket List?

You’re sitting in your office feeling all kinds of ‘meh’ about another working week. A bucket list is the kind of fuel to get you through an otherwise dour week. It’s a kind of shopping list of life experiences.

You’ll find both the complete list (1000 Things to do Before You Die) and, underneath that, my list of completed and in progress bucket list items.

If you’d like to see the list broken up into categories, you can read about my bucket list in greater detail in my entry on the subject.
