500 Before 50 Bucket List

OMG! WTF have I got myself in for??!?

A few years ago I put together a 40 before 40 bucket list type thing. I figured that I had several years to do it all and there was only 40 items - I should have NO problems getting all of it done! Right? Well, I recently turned 40. I got six things done on that list.... count em... SIX!!

I decided that instead of trying to complete the list this year, which was never going to happen, I would just re-vamp it and expand upon it. I am of the belief that with a relatively short list (40 items) and a long time (3+ years) to do it all in, I felt I had "heaps of time" to do it so I kept putting it off and eventually stopped looking at the list all together.

I dont want that to happen again so I am taking inspiration from this lady (Pam?) and her 400 before 40 and 500 before 50 lists. Yes, I have ten years to get the whole list complete but that means doing one a week or so. Its no longer something I can put off. Im hoping this will give me some extra motivation.

The biggest problem Im having at the moment?? Coming up with 500 items to go on the damn list!! Why is it such a hard task??? I need to get over this "Oh I wont have the time/money/ability to do that" crap and just add things to the list. I'll have a go at everything and see how far I get :)
