Should i make a bucket list?

I'm currently undergoing monk mode (look it up on this sub) and I've found goal lists to be immensly helpful for chasing your dreams. The main difference to regular bucket lists is that you don't measure your success by an external standard (e.g. having a threesome, making 50k, working in a major city, etc), but rather set goals for yourself that you can actively work on and that will allow you to do those items on your bucket list later.

Allow me to give you an example: Let's say your goals are becoming fit, selling all that crap you never use and picking up a skill (in my case it's bartending). So far, these are goals pretty much any guy has for his life. What's the difference between you amd them? They don't make those dreams reality.

So when you have defined your goals, think of the steps you need to take in order to get there. Want to build a killer body? Then you better start out with a bit of running while you fix your diet. Done that? Then it's time for you to incorporate resistance training into your workout. You get the point, just make your goals clearly defined and in a logical order.

It's crucial to your success that you only mark a step as done if you have actually made it a habit. Otherwise, you will try doing too many things at once which just results in spending the whole day idling around because you don't have the energy to do anything.

I think it's best to cite to Bang by Roosh. Goals are always needed, how you list them is up to you. But the two big takeaways are one, that your goals should be set with a high bar, otherwise you risk easy goals that don't feel as satisfying. The second is that you should be wary of putting a due date on them. Everyone is different and what takes you one day could take me a week. Just work on them and you'll see results. No need to add pressure on yourself when you don't need it.
