Schedule Items From Your Bucket List on Your Calendar
One way to make sure you are checking things off your summer bucket list is to schedule the items from your list to your calendar. Things that don’t get scheduled often don’t get done. One way to ensure that you get all or most of your items accomplished is to schedule them for a particular day and time.
