The Bucket List is a pretty straightforward idea. You write down a list of things you want to do before you die and then you gradually work through them, attempting to complete as many as possible. Granted that sounds a little grim in some respects, but the intention is simply to drive you towards maximising your time in life so you can look back and feel good about what you’ve done, seen and experienced.

Below you can see my current list of items by key category and a status where they have been completed. I follow two very basic rules:

1. An item can never be removed from the list
2. Items can always be added to the list
