Bucket List: 35 Things To Do at 35

Back on New Year's Eve, I made my first Bucket List of 35 Things to Do in 2019 and kind of failed as I was not very persistent and kind of forgot most of the wishes I had determined to accomplish.

Today, as I have turned 35 years old, I feel more determined to set a bucket list of 35 goals, wishes and things to do by September 2020. I have tried to make most of my wishes achievable and realistic. Wish me luck!

Is there anything more pleasing than ticking something off your To-Do list?

That's why I will check a wish out once I accomplish it for me and you to be visible how far I have gone.

How many of these things have you done?

What's the one wish you would like to have accomplished by your next birthday?

January 2 - New Year Goals, Bucket List or Resolutions

Day 2 - Do you have New Year's Resolutions? If yes, what are they? If not, why not?

I am usually someone who loves making New Year's Resolutions.It is an opportunity to pause and write down my wishes and goals for the coming year.

The question is...

Do I stick to them? 

The answer is...

Not really.
I even forget about them until the next year when it's time to make New Resolutions:)

It would be no effort to write about my New Resolutions this year too but during the whole month of December I kept talking about them too many times.

It was December 16, when I was challenged to make a Christmas Printable and I made a New Year Resolution Printable. 

It was December 22 that I was challenged to make My Bucket List for 2019.

It was December 31 when I was challenged to make My 10 Blogging Goals for 2019.

It was January 1 when I was challenged to make My S.M.A.R.T Blogging Goals for January.

So My New Year Goals/Resolutions/Bucket List are done and arranged, waiting to be accomplished.

I only want to try something new and different this year.

I am usually notorious for multitasking and procrastination and struggle with time management.


I am always short of time and have to cancel something in order to manage another thing.

I've come up with a plan to have one goal a month.
I will start each month with one blogging and one personal goal and focus on them. I strongly believe that by making it simple and concrete there will be a better opportunity for me to achieve my goals.

So here we go

My January Goals

Blogging - Keep up with the January Mind, Body and Writing Challenge and open Instagram, Twitter and YouTube accounts for this blog where I will share my posts.

Personal - Read and finish 1 book, keep up with my skin and hair care routine.

What about you?
Do you make New Year Resolutions, Goals or a Bucket List?

December 22 - My Bucket List for 2019

Day 22 - Share your current bucket list for 2019

As the New Year approaches, we start thinking about the changes we want to make and the steps we want to take in order to make our life better.

What's the difference between a New Year resolution and a New Year Bucket List?

A resolution is a firm decision to start doing or to stop doing something. It may sometimes be unrealistic and may lead to frustration and failure if not achieved.

A bucket list is a number of experiences that you want to accomplish in a certain period of time. And even if you succeed in accomplishing only a few from the list, you don't have to feel a failure, plus by making a Bucket List we give ourselves an opportunity to learn and experience and create something new.

So here it is, my Bucket List for 2019

1- Read 12 books + 1 audiobook
