Motivational Summer Bucket List

Posted by Vince Poscente on Tue, Jul 17, 2012 @ 11:27 AM

Summer has a way of taking control. Sure, you plan your holidays as you flirt with the illusion of steering your course. But, between kids and other responsibilities, summer sits in the drivers seat and takes you for a ride. Push bossy summer into the back seat and give it a jolt of healthy, quirky fun.

Below is a Summer Bucket List by our 14 year-old daughter Alex. Her ideas might take a left turn here and there but the concept is definitely worth a test drive.

Alex's Summer Bucket List:

  1. Have a summer pool party with friends (just for fun)
  2. Get dressed super fancy for one day
  3. Go one week without chocolate
  4. Walk around the lake with our dog Annie
  5. Have a two-person scavenger hunt at the mall
  6. Listen to Spanish radio for an hour
  7. Volunteer at C.C. Young Retirement Home for an afternoon
  8. Solve a Rubix Cube
  9. Do the splits
  10. Prepare a full meal for the family
  11. Learn a song on piano
  12. Make exact Elf spaghetti (Chocolate syrup. Maple syrup. Sprinkles. M&Ms. Pop-Tarts on cold spaghetti noodles)
  13. Get “slushied” Glee style
  14. Watch Forrest Gump

Here’s Alex’s roadmap for your own Summer Bucket List.

  1. Host a special get together with friends.
  2. Get dressed up.
  3. Nix a vice for a period of time.
  4. Take a pet for a long walk.
  5. Make shopping an adventure.
  6. Stretch your brain.
  7. Help local senior citizens.
  8. Solve puzzle.
  9. Teach your body a new move.
  10. Prepare an innovative meal for loved ones.
  11. Learn a song.
  12. Reenact a scene from a movie.
  13. Reenact a scene from a TV show.
  14. Watch a classic movie you haven’t seen (or read a classic book you haven’t read).

personal development, sugar rush Too busy to start your list? Then make a bowl of spaghetti, cover it in chocolate, maple syrup, sprinkles, M&Ms and crushed up Pop Tarts. The sugar rush will give you a 45 minute window to not only make the list but also do everything on it.
