I have written this list as "just do it and get it over with", based on the National holidays list, and then I have picked some goals from my own Bucketlist, which cannot be done in a day, but to be able to be completed one day, has to be worked on on several days.
First thing to do is to go through your Bucket List and see if there are things that can be done in one day. Write these things in slips of paper and put in a jar so that you can pick a slip a day you don't have anything else to do. Choose a goal that can be completed any day in September.
Some examples of these goals:
- get a tattoo
- donate blood
- send a message in a bottle
- sleep under the stars
- dance in the rain (I mean, you don't need to be good at dancing to actually do this, but if you want, learn Gene Kelly's Dancing In The Rain coreography and do that. But I suppose that will take a little more time than a day...)
- build a kite, fly a kite
- learn to juggle
- watch the sun rise, sun go down, see the sunrise and sunset the same day
- write a letter to myself 10 years from now, 20 years from now
- take up photography
- push a slinky down a flight of stairs
- go to a nature walk
- get a massage
- have a picnic
- make a recipe you have bookmarked/Pinterest/recipe collection
- go a day without technology
- take a homeless person for a meal
- go without make-up
- karaoke in public
- don't say a word for a day
- go a day without complaining
- pay for the person in line next to me
- learn to say alphabet backwards
- Spend All Day In An Airport People Watching
Are there events in your neighborhood in September you could attend? Exhibitions? What's happening in museums, theaters and galleries in your town? How about Meet Up?
How about "Scare Yourself Every Day"? Go through his list of scary things to do, and write your own. It might not be what he finds scary, but you will know what you find scary when you do it.
Google Fall Bucket List or Autumn Bucket List and compile a list of 30 things that you can do in a day, that you want to do. Then just do it.
Find a September photo a day prompt list and do it. Or draw it, write it, create it one way or another.
Things to do every day in September:
work on the 100 pushups and the other programs (who doesn't want to be able to do 25 pull-ups or 200 situps?) and C25K and 30 days to splits. (these things are on many person's to do list, they just can't get it done. Now is the time, and this is your sign.
- if you do the programs as said, it will take 4 weeks to get your splits, 6-7 weeks for the 100 pushups and the other challenges and 9 weeks to be able to run 5K (3 miles) in half an hour. (From zero. Think about that for the next 2 months, and keep doing the exercises. Post a picture or video of yourself doing the daily workout on Instagram, and get "365 self-portrait challenge" done, too :-D
* Watch a Disney theatrical animated feature film, one a day. You will be able to tick "watch every Disney movie" from your list in two months. (There's 61 of them at the moment.)
(If you don't want to watch the Disney movies, choose another movie list, and watch one a day.)
Another list of movies on many person's list is "Watch a movie starting with each letter of the alphabet". You can do this, too, in September.
A - Aristocats, 1/9
B - The Black Cauldron 23/9
C - Chicken Little 11/9
D - Dumbo 10/9
E - The Emperor's New Groove 15/9

01.09
Celebrate Ginger Cat Appreciation Day by watching Aristocats, Three Lives of Thomasina, and Alien; eating kitty litter cake and drinking Ginger Cats (vodka with ginger ale - actually, it should be Cathead vodka, but - uh.) Have a photoshoot with ginger cat. If you can't find a real one, get a toy cat.
02.09
Celebrate the Vietnamese National Day by cooking Vietnamese summer rolls, Goi Cuon, with beef and Hoisin peanut sauce. Let's make it more challenging by making the rice paper ourselves - and learning some Vietnamese.
Duolingo offers free Vietnamese course. Use the opportunity and spend 15 minutes a day there the whole September, and add "Learn Vietnamese", "Learn a new language" to your goals.
And, watch a Vietnamese movie. (I recommend Cyclo or Xích Lô as it is in original language, to check off X from your alphabetical movie list.)
03.09
Is the Welsh Rarebit day, so let's make some and watch Phantom Thread - and have Welsh Rabbit with a poached egg on top of it, not too runny, bacon, scones, butter, cream, jam, not strawberry, raspberry, Lapsang Souchong tea, and some sausages. Now, I personally think Lapsang should be enjoyed with milk, and perhaps even a little sugar, but that's me.
Here, BTW, is a "tea lover's bucket list"
How to become a tea connoisseur in a day
How to become a tea expert in six steps
04.09
Is a National Wildlife Day - so let's watch some nature documentaries - a macadamia nut day - so let's bake something with macadamia nuts - and the paperboy day - so let's make something with newspapers, and a paperboy hat.
You could also watch The Jungle Book this day.
05.09
It's International Day of Charity. Buy a goat to someone and check out "change someone's life to the better" from your Bucket list.
Then enjoy a good cheese pizza. And perhaps watch The Volunteers. :-D
06.09
Is Read the Book Day - so read a book. Try to read as much of a book as you can. Try to beat a record. Read at least 400 pages.
It's also the Independence Day of Swaziland, so make some Swazi food, like chicken dust - a grilled chicken served with salad and pap (much like polenta).
Make some ice cream for dessert, because it's also the national coffee ice cream day.
07.09
Brazilian independence day! So perhaps make some Salpicao or Feijoado and learn to dance Samba. Maybe watch a Brazilian movie. (If you choose Nosso Lar, you'll get a movie that starts with N - that doesn't exist among Disney movies.)
Also, watch Saludos Amigos
08.09
It's Star Trek day - so have a Star Trek marathon, and make some Star Trek food :-D There's plenty of recipes out there, from obviously fake to... disturbingly real.
You could watch the Treasure Planet today.
09.09
It's the Teddy Bear Day, Care Bears Share your Care day, and Wiener schnitzel day. Now, a Wiener Schnitzel is always, always, always, no exceptions, made with veal, but it's OK to eat some other schnitzel on this day, if you don't want to eat veal. Eat German potato salad and green salad to it.
And watch Care Bears the movie and Winnie the Pooh
10.09
It's the World Suicide Prevention Day. Find out what you can do to prevent suicide or make people aware of it, and do it.
How to help someone who is suicidal and save a life
It's also the Gibraltar day. You could make Rosto and Calentita. Maybe you could invite a friend over?
Perhaps watch Dumbo?
11.09
It's the National 911 day. It might be a good day to remember your local first responders and take some cookies and flowers to them.
Also, learn first aid and CPR, and how you can best aid first responders in an emergency.
Perhaps Chicken Little?
12.09
Celebrate Enkutatash, the Ethiopian New Year, with some Injera meal. You could watch the Phat Girlz, which is directed by Nnegest Likké, who has Ethiopian roots.
It is also the Banana day. There's a lot of things to do on the Banana day. You could "dress dangerously", as Carmen Miranda, with a banana hat, the whole day and see how your experience of the world and self image changes :-D
Maybe watch Zootopia?
13.09
Roald Dahl was born this day, 1916. There's TONS to do on this day! What is on your Bucket list that fits the day's theme? You could learn to mec like Danny, the Champion of the World or perhaps learn how to make perfect donuts, like farmer Bunce from Fantastic Mr. Fox. I don't recommend goose liver paté with them. But learning to make liver paté wouldn't be at all bad. Or learn to make cider like farmer Bean.
It is also the Moon Cake Day or Mid-Autumn Festival.
14.09
It's Eat a Hoagie Day and Cream Filled Donut day. Learn to make them yourself, and make yourself a Philly Cheese Steak. :-)
15.09
It's "make a hat day", "linguine day" and "double cheeseburger day".
So, make a hat. You can learn to knit or crochet to make a hat. It's pretty quick to make a hat, and you should be able to learn to knit or crochet enough in a day to finish the hat today as well. You could also sew a hat or felt a hat. Or go all out and learn how modists make hats with blocks and steam and all that. That won't be done in a day.
Learn to make linguine. It's basically spaghetti that's flattened to get the oval shape. Linguine is not flat, it's oval.
Learn to make a perfect hamburger. If you're vegan, learn to make the perfect vegan burger. Duh. :-D
You could also watch the Emperor's New Groove while you knit yourself an Andean Chullo hat
16.09
Is Mexican Independence Day. Not, it's not May fifth.
So have a fiesta and go wild. Try to avoid stereotypes and other such crap.
Also, watch a Mexican movie. I recommend ¿Quién diablos es Juliette?, because it starts with Q.
(And watch The Three Amigos)
17.09
It's International Country Music Day. Live up to your inner cowgirl or -boy.
Take some riding lessons, or hire a horse and ride a bit today.
You could also start learning how to play guitar.
Serve Nashville style fried chicken with biscuits, mashed potatoes and sweet tea, and apple dumplings as dessert (it's the Apple Dumpling Day as well :-D)
Also, watch Home on the Range
18.09
This day is a bit boring... it's Cheeseburger day, but we had a double cheeseburger day just a week ago, so it feels really stupid to do that. It's "Hug a Greeting Card Writer Day", which feels very random :-D But you could watch a movie about a greeting card writer, and perhaps try writing greeting cards yourself.
Some movies: Girlfriend’s Day, The Lonely Guy, Mr. Deeds, Season's Greetings, 500 Days of Summer (for the alphabet movie list; G, L, M, S and F)
19.09
Talk like a Pirate Day! Really easy to find things to do for today :-D
You could also start learning to sail.
Or get a parrot and teach it to speak.
Of course, watch Peter Pan.
20.09
It's the feast day of St. Eustace, the patron saint of hunters.
I'd arrange a medieval hunting picnic to this day.
Start my training to become a hunter. Here in Sweden you have to take a test and pass a shooting test, so it's not something you do in a day.
And if you think hunting is disgusting, hunt with a camera. Wildlife photography is a skill.
How to Take Great Pictures of Animals
I think The Fox and The Hound might fit for this day. Or perhaps Bambi.
21.09
It's the international peace day, pecan cookie day and miniature golf day.
So, bake some pecan cookies, and take with you when you go play miniature golf, and share with the other golfers, to promote peace between people :-D
It's also World Alzheimer's Day. Get some habits that keep your brain healthier, like learn to solve Sudoku or cross word puzzles, learn a new language (you should be studying Vietnamese!) etc.
What can you do to avoid Alzheimer's disease
Watch some movies about Alzheimer's. (I recommend Iris so that you can check off I from your alphabet movie list.)
Also, the Oktoberfest starts in Munich, so if that's on your Bucketlist, you might want to go - or arrange something fun to do with friends here at home. It lasts two weeks, over three weekends, so there's plenty of time to do something.
22.09
It's the Hobbit Day. Read J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit and the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, the prologue and the first chapter. Then you know exactly why and how to celebrate the Hobbit Day.
You could watch the movies, if you want to, if they are on your bucket list. (Letters F, T, R, U, D and B, because "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" don't count...)
23.09
It's Autumn Equinox. Celebrate it in some ways. For inspiration, you can see what Wiccans do with Mabon. There's plenty of ideas there.
You could try to brew wine.
Also, watch The Black Cauldron. It's loosely based on Mabinogion which is associated with Mabon.
24.09
is Schwenkfelder Thanksgiving, Cherries Jubilee day, and South African Heritage Day.
Learn about Schwenkfelderites and South African heritage, and make Cherries Jubilee.
Cherries Jubilee was created to celebrate queen Victoria's Jubilee, and if you make it, you can check "flambé food" and "eat flambéed food" from your list. :-)
25.09
It's a National Comic Book Day. So, of course, you'll see your favorite comic book movie(s).
It's also the National lobster day and National crab meat newburg day, so if you have always wanted to taste lobster, today is the day. Or if you want to cook a lobster.
Also, you could watch Kick-ass or Kingsmen, to get a movie starting with K to your list, or Ironman for I.
26.09
This is a good day, so much to do!
It's Lumberjack Day. So learn about lumberjacks, learn how to correctly cut a tree, and wear plaid.
It's Pancake Day. So learn to make the best, fluffiest pancakes in the world.
It's Johnny Appleseed day. So watch the Disney's Melody Time - there's one section called Johnny Appleseed - and plant some appleseeds of your own. Grow them a year and then next year go plant the saplings somewhere.
It's Batman day. So if you started your Batman movie marathon yesterday, you can continue today with good conscience :-D
27.09
It's National Scarf Day. Learn 20 ways to tie a scarf and make a video of yourself tying them.
It's corned beef hash day, so make some. You can also learn how to make corned beef.
28.09
National Good Neighbor Day; Strawberry Cream Pie Day and International Poke Day. Make Poké and Strawberry Cream Pie and invite your neighbors to dinner.
Watch The Great Mouse Detective or Lady and the Tramp, both with good neighbors
29.09
So - here comes the biggest clash - to me. It's St. Michael's Day AND Rosh Hashanah. St. Michael has been The Harvest Feast day to me my whole life. It was the day in Finland when people left their old work places and got a new job, if they had a year long employment, like being a farm help or maid or something like that. Big fairs were organized all over the country, so that people could mingle and find their new employer/employee. This day was kind of Finnish Thanksgiving.
And then, Rosh Hashanah. One of the Big Ones for the Jewish people, and my husband happens to be one of them. So I suppose I'll combine the two.
You do what ever you think fits. It is also the World Heart Day, so do something to make your heart happy, whether it is finding love or aerobic exercise :-)
30.09
Hot Mulled Cider Day; Mud Pack Day, and International Podcast Day.
Make mulled cider, give yourself a mud mask and create a podcast.
Today you should also be able to tick "be able to do the splits" from your bucketlist, if you have followed the 30 day program.
First thing to do is to go through your Bucket List and see if there are things that can be done in one day. Write these things in slips of paper and put in a jar so that you can pick a slip a day you don't have anything else to do. Choose a goal that can be completed any day in September.
Some examples of these goals:
- get a tattoo
- donate blood
- send a message in a bottle
- sleep under the stars
- dance in the rain (I mean, you don't need to be good at dancing to actually do this, but if you want, learn Gene Kelly's Dancing In The Rain coreography and do that. But I suppose that will take a little more time than a day...)
- build a kite, fly a kite
- learn to juggle
- watch the sun rise, sun go down, see the sunrise and sunset the same day

- take up photography

So - here comes the biggest clash - to me. It's St. Michael's Day AND Rosh Hashanah. St. Michael has been The Harvest Feast day to me my whole life. It was the day in Finland when people left their old work places and got a new job, if they had a year long employment, like being a farm help or maid or something like that. Big fairs were organized all over the country, so that people could mingle and find their new employer/employee. This day was kind of Finnish Thanksgiving.
And then, Rosh Hashanah. One of the Big Ones for the Jewish people, and my husband happens to be one of them. So I suppose I'll combine the two.
You do what ever you think fits. It is also the World Heart Day, so do something to make your heart happy, whether it is finding love or aerobic exercise :-)
