the PERFECT bucket list

Alright people, bucket lists?!?! Whose got em? I started mine going on two years ago this November. And by started, I mean I began writing things I wanted to do down, on an actual list, in a google doc.  I mean truthfully I think everyone has some type of bucket list stored in their minds...every day I feel like I am saying, "Oh, I'd love to do that sometime." Am I right?

Since I began writing things down, I haven't crossed too many things off my list.  In fact, I've only crossed out 6 items out of 89 (which is also pretty pathetic-only 89 things I want to do?!? come on, this is a lie), and #77 is writing a blog:-)

I think part of the reason my BL (what I call the bucket list) has been lacking inspiration, ideas, LIFE is because I really wanted a good way to organize it.  This is where the OCD of me comes banging on the door.  I mean, it's pretty ridiculous that I can't even be unorganized with a bucket list. Currently my list is simply # followed by the BL item. Original, right? WRONG.

Enter the PERFECT bucket list solution:

I found this tumblr account while pinning (Social Media today-CRAZY!) The Perfect Bucket List_Things to do before I die.

Basically, the author attaches the BL item to a picture that illustrates the item. GENIUS. I mean, I do learn well visually, so why did I not think to organize my BL visually.

Here's an example:

Which just so happens to be #8 on my perfectbucketlist:-)

Isn't this so great?

My newest challenge: Start creating these BL visuals to go along with my BL, while adding more to the BL...and crossing more off the BL. Life's too short, right? I don't want to regret any more than I already do! I am super excited to get working on this.  I was even thinking that when I complete the BL item I could add the date to the visual like a timestamp! Now all I need to do is find the time to sit down and work on this. I guess I should be happy my list is only at 89 now...

Anyone else have a bucket list out there? How do you keep track? I would also LOVE to eventually do something like this:

Another great idea! Oh, if only there were more time in the day, or things like work didn't get in the way!

Always love,
