My bucked list for 2014

I came upon a very nice article today, and I managed to make a bucket list for this year, which I am planning to keep.  I will draw a line at the end of 2014 to see how it goes, but until then, here it is: 

- Take a road trip to a city you’ve never been to before. Doesn’t matter if it’s two hours away or twenty, but just get out of your city at least 1 a month! 

- Join a recreation league for a sport you loved playing growing up. 

- Read one new book every single month. Non-fiction, fiction, doesn’t matter. Just constantly be reading.

- Go on a strict eating plan like the Slow-Carb Diet from Tim Ferriss for at least three weeks. You’ll probably see some positive results, both mentally and physically, by challenging yourself like that. Whether you stick with it or not doesn’t matter, as long as you take something away from it.

- Buy a nice bottle of wine and keep it around until something special happens. You’ll know when to crack it open.

- Reach back out to an old friend and try to reconnect.

- Go shopping only for yourself when you go into a holiday!Try to forget about your friends and just temper yourself!

- Send your parents  a thoughtful gift during a random time of the year. 

- Visit the coolest museum in your local area and spend the entire day thoughtfully visiting each area.

- Go on a two to four day stay vacation at the most impressive local hotel that’s in your budget. Focus only on relaxing and recharging your batteries without all the inconvenience (and cost) of flying.

- Host a BBQ in the summer and invite a bunch of your closest friends. The bigger and more elaborate you can make the event, the better.

- Help a buddy move. We all get those random requests every once in a while — whether directly or through a platform like Facebook. Do it — and expect nothing in return except a beer or two and some good conversation.

- Do as many pushups as you can each morning for at least two weeks. Track your total after each session with the Notes app on your phone and see if you can make it a daily habit after the two weeks.

- Organize something of yours that always seem to be messy — closet, car, laundry room, etc. Keep it like that for the rest of the year.

- Ditch an unhealthy eating habit you can’t seem to kick like diet soda, sweets, energy drinks, coffee loaded up with cream and sugar, etc.

- Instead of buying a bunch of low to medium priced clothing items you don’t absolutely need, save up for one big purchase that you’ll have for years and years.

- Plan a camping trip with a big group of your buddies. It’s a great way to drink, swap stories, and enjoy the outdoors.
