I randomly came across a post from The Optimist Podcast by Jake Hurwitz and found it quite inspiring to create a version of my own.

The original title of his bucket list is “300 Things to Do Before I Die” but I’m a bit greedy—so my version is called “300 Things to Do Before I’m Too Old”

Here is his list on Notion, which I found very inspiring. I also love the way he categorizes everything, so I’ve used his format as a reference while building my own list. I truly appreciate his openness in sharing it. 😊

If I truly had a witch’s power, I would make my list — and everyone else’s dreams — come true.

Thank you.
