Make a bucket list for this month, not just for this life. Big dreams need small deadlines.

A list with no deadline is a mood rather than a plan. Anything dated for the whole of your life is effectively dated for never, because no particular week makes skipping it cost anything. Shrink the window to thirty days and the same item has to compete with real Tuesdays, which is where it either becomes real or gets dropped honestly. Both of those beat a list that sits untouched for a decade.

Write four things for this month, each small enough to fit into an afternoon. Put a date on every one. At the end, keep what you did and be honest about what you never wanted.
