What is your 2020 vision? Bucket List Ideas for the New Decade


It’s coming to the end of an interesting year. Whatever has happened to you personally, or to those close to you, the end of the year can bring with it a time of reflection and planning the hustle for the year ahead.

2020 is not only the start of a new year, but it’s also the start of a brand new decade. With that, it is paired all sorts of promise, and like having perfect eyesight- clarity, While laser eyes surgery may not gift you with the ability to see into the future, you’ll be able to focus enough on what’s right in front of you.

Want to get away more? Look for the best travel tips to help you take the trips of a lifetime. (How much time is left on your passport?) Want to learn a language? Download that app to offset your language learning before immersing yourself in culture. Want to give something back? Get yourself on a volunteering list to do your part in communities far and wide.

If you’re inspired to get into the next decade with a whole new mindset, it’s worth having a list of goals, dreams, and aspirations for the upcoming ten years. These usually take the form of a bucket list to tick off. A good bucket list is balanced, with some easy to accomplish goals and some that require more planning. Whatever you choose to do- make sure they bring you fulfillment and happiness, and that they are not more things that society tells you are the important things in life.

Here are some ideas to get you going when planning your bucket list.

  1. Learn how to play a new competitive sport- a great way of meeting new people, getting fit and developing team-building skills.

  2. Learn 3 songs on guitar or piano- music is a universally wonderful thing, so to be able to play songs of your own can only be a good thing. There are simple lessons available, even for those who don’t feel as though you’re blessed with musicality!

  3. Read more books- Factual, fiction, self-help guides, books are filled with knowledge, experiences, and beauty.

  4. See more of the world- Whether it’s Europe, Asia, Africa, or just the next state along- there’s so much of the world to see. Get out there and see more!

  5. Try an extreme sport- ‘Extreme’ looks different for each person, but try anything that gets your heart pumping harder and leaves you exhilarated afterward.

  6. Save a large amount of money- A nice car, your own house, going backpacking, whatever you want or need, it’s good to have the funds to get it done.

  7. Do more for others- There are plenty of opportunities out there to muck in and help your communities. Meet new people and learn new skills.

  8. Develop a new skill- It can be something useful like rewiring a plug or your next party trick, whatever it is, excel and do it well.

  9. Take more photographs- Memories are a beautiful thing- having photographic memories to take with you will also help you to capture a picture of your youth to show future generations.

  10. Make inter-generational friends- Because your best friends don’t all have to be your own age, there’s plenty you can learn from, and teach people of older and younger generations.
