MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS INVOLVED.

The most important tip is to make your bucket list as a family. Make sure everyone’s goals and dreams have a spot on the list, and the only way to ensure that is to make sure everyone has a voice when the list is created. List every item on the same list perhaps color-coding group goals versus individual dreams. Listing everyone’s input on the same list creates a sense of teamwork and unity.

DISPLAY YOUR BUCKET LIST IN A COMMON AND VISIBLE AREA.

It doesn’t do your family any good if you make a list of everyone’s dreams and goals, and then tuck it into a junk drawer that gets covered by to-do lists and never gets looked at again. Make sure your family’s bucket list is a constant source of inspiration and improvement by placing it in an area of your home where your family frequently gathers or in a place where it is sure to be seen every day. Maybe hang it on the refrigerator in the kitchen, or perhaps place it by the door you use most frequently, so everyone is reminded of their goals when they head out for the day.

KEEP UP WITH IT.

The only way to make sure the bucket list stays effective is to actively keep up with it. Make sure to mark on the list every time a new bullet point is checked off, and then go out for a celebration. No matter how big or how small the celebration is, make sure everyone knows the importance of reaching their goals.
