If you want to live a life of no regrets, a bucket list is a great tool to use. Instead of leaving your life experiences and accomplishments to chance, your bucket list helps you pick the things you’d like to do in your lifetime. Better still, it can help you create work-life integration too by guiding you to proactively choose list items that will enrich specific areas of your life.

[Discover 7 reasons to create a bucket list]

With a list to work from, you’ll never be left wondering how best to use your time. Instead, you can make your way through your list. While it’s good to be spontaneous, it’s also good to get things scheduled and planned in. Your bucket list will empower you to do that.

For now and for your life

Remember, your Bucket List isn’t just a list of things to do before you die! Giving yourself such an open time window makes it easy to procrastinate and put things off for later.

Sure, it’s a smart idea to put together a master bucket list that contains everything you’d like to do in your lifetime, but also create shorter lists with closer deadlines. For example:

– Make a list of things to do before your next milestone birthday
– List out targets you’ll hit within the next five or ten years

Take this spilt-up approach, and there’s a good chance you’ll do even more incredible things over the course of your life.

And if you’re looking for ideas to get you excited, we’ve got covered. Check out the list below. It’s packed with 103 bucket list ideas split across seven different life categories.
