Summer Bucket List

Summer Bucket List

Here at Appointed, we are excited for summer sunshine, warm weather plans, and making new memories. We believe the best summers are lived with intention—taking in the small moments while leaving room for adventure. And the best way to find that intention is a well-crafted bucket list.

We’ve pulled together a simple but inspiring summer bucket list to spark your inspiration—and of course, we’ve included ideas on how to use your favorite Appointed Notebook or Planner to make it all happen.

Your Summer Bucket List

  1. Try a New Hobby: Summer is the perfect time to try something new. Get outdoors with a new sport like pickleball or rollerskating or unwind indoors with a creative hobby like crocheting, journaling, or pottery. Plus, you can even take your hobby outside for a little sunshine. Keep track of your ideas, progress, and inspiration in your Notebook.
  2. Document One Thing Each Day: Capture a moment from each day this summer, big or small. A quick reflection, a line of gratitude, or a favorite quote in your Journal can all be ways to document your thoughts and feelings from this season.
  3. Plan a Weekend Getaway Near You: Whether it’s a short drive, or a staycation, take time to get away and relax. Use your Planner to sketch out a weekend itinerary—where to stay, where to eat, and what to explore. A little planning goes a long way to make even short trips feel special.
  4. Create a Summer Scrapbook Spread: Keep a collection of mementos in your Desktop Storage Box of all your summer memories—photos, tickets, pressed flowers, little notes, labels, and receipts. At the end of the season, revisit your favorite memories and pull together your moments into a scrapbook page that captures your summer.
  5. Do a Tourist Day in Your Own City: Explore the places you usually overlook—local museums, hiking trails, quirky road stops, or a new restaurant you’ve been meaning to try in your town. Track your day’s adventures in your Mini Linen Jotter.
  6. Check Out a Local Farmers’ Market: Add a Saturday morning ritual to your summer plans. Keep a running list of your favorite markets, cool finds, seasonal produce and recipes, and vendor names in your Workbook.
  7. Bring Back Snail Mail: Brighten someone’s day with a little handwritten note and bring summer sunshine to their mailbox.

The best part of summer isn’t just ticking off boxes, it’s being present in the moments that matter. Let your Notebook or Planner be your companion for capturing it all. So grab a pen, pick a few ideas from our list, and start planning your best summer yet. Need a fresh start for the season?
