That’s your bucket list.</p>\n<p>Individually, I’ve thought about each of these a reasonable amount. But in a reflective mood I realised I’ve never thought about them all together; how they relate to each other, which are more important, which might be more effective to do whilst I’m still young, how many to I achieve each year, and so on.</p>\n<p>With that in mind, I decided to write down my Bucket List which I share below. Why? Mainly because I wanted to keep a personal record, a <a href=\"/bucket-list/\">live doc</a> which I could add to (and check off) as I progress. In fact, I’ve already checked off some of the recent ones ones I’ve done. Second, at some stage I’m going to develop a bit of a strategy around them. For example, the marathons should probably come sooner rather than later in terms of my body. There are some around work and travel require some strategy. (Sidetone - but I’m thinking of using personal OKRs as a means to do this). Third, perhaps someone might see this and help me to achieve one. Who knows.</p>\n<p>As much as anything, I want this list to act as somewhere to come back to when I want to prioritise or centre myself. As I try to <a href=\"/slow-down-refocus/\">slow down and say no</a> more often; these are the big things to stride toward.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2>To do</h2>\n<h3>Work</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Write a book</li>\n<li>Be fully in control of my own time</li>\n<li>Start my own company</li>\n<li>Be part of a $1bn startup</li>\n<li>Try angel investing</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Travel</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Mixed group ski holiday</li>\n<li>Road Trip across the US in a school bus that I’ve converted into a fun bus</li>\n<li>Go to a football World Cup</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Go to significant national days/festivals in different countries/cities</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Festival of Lights, Chiang Mai - Thailand</li>\n<li>Waterboarding, Guantanamo Bay - Cuba</li>\n<li>Songkran Water Fight - Thailand</li>\n<li>Holi Festival - India</li>\n<li>Boryeong Mud Party, - South Korea</li>\n<li>Octoberfest, Munich - Germany</li>\n<li>Distortion Festival, Copenhagen - Denmark</li>\n<li>La Tomatina, Valencia - Spain</li>\n<li>St Patricks Day, Ireland</li>\n<li>Venice Carnival, Venice - Italy</li>\n<li>Day of The Dead - Mexico</li>\n<li>Carnival, Rio - Brazil</li>\n<li>Bull Run, Pamplona - Spain</li>\n<li>Tomorrowland - Belgium</li>\n<li>Mardi Gras, New Orleans - USA</li>\n<li>Burning Man Festival, Nevada - USA</li>\n<li>Amsterdam Dance Event, Amsterdam - Netherlands</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Do</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Build a boat and sail it</li>\n<li>Build an out-house and host a games night in it (BBQ included)</li>\n<li>Build a tree house for my kids and host a birthday party</li>\n<li>Host a boxing day celebration with the families of 4 friends</li>\n<li>Host a summer party/festival with all me friends, their families and live music</li>\n<li>Go to meditation retreat</li>\n<li>Eat at the top 10 restaurants in the world</li>\n<li>Listen to the top 100 albums of all time (Rolling Stone)</li>\n<li>Watch the top 100 films of all time (IMDB)</li>\n<li>Read the top 100 books of all time (?)</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Life</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Live in another country</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Challenge</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Complete a marathon</li>\n<li>Complete an ultra marathon</li>\n<li>Complete a significant climb</li>\n<li>Complete a long distance swim</li>\n<li>Run the Great Wall of China</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Learn</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>How to cook a specific cuisine really well</li>\n<li>to Sail</li>\n<li>a musical instrument</li>\n<li>another language</li>\n</ul>\n<hr>\n<h2>Already complete</h2>\n<h3>Work</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Get a role at a venture-backed startup (June, 2014)</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Travel</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Universal Studios, Florida (July, 2015)</li>\n<li>Go to a football European Championships (June, 2016)</li>\n<li>Period of travelling for greater than 3 months (November, 2017 – March, 2018)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Go to significant national days/festivals in different countries/cities</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kingsday, Amsterdam - Netherlands (April 25th, 2017)</li>\n<li>Secret Garden Party, UK (July, 2017)</li>\n<li>Full Moon Party – Thailand (February, 2018 &#x26; February 2020)</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Do</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to Wimbledon (July 13th, 2017)</li>\n<li>Scuba dive (December 12th, 2017 – Cairns, Australia)</li>\n<li>Skydive (December 16th, 2017 – Cairns, Australia)</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Life</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Live in another city (May, 2015)</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Challenge</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Complete a Toughmudder (October, 2016)</li>\n</ul>","fields":{"slug":"/bucket-list-version-one/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"Bucket List (Version 1)","date":"22 May, 2017","updatedDate":null,"description":"Things I want to do before I kick it.","tags":["Personal"],"thumbnail":null,"thumbnailAlt":null,"cardType":null,"type":null,"related":null}}},"pageContext":{"slug":"/bucket-list-version-one/","previous":{"fields":{"slug":"/sivers/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"Wisdom of Derek Sivers","type":null}},"next":{"fields":{"slug":"/twenty-five/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"25 (Late)","type":null}}}},"staticQueryHashes":["3096804680"]}
