Ask LH: How Can I Assemble A Bucket List?

Dear Lifehacker, How might I go about making a ‘bucket-list’? I know it should have all the things I want to do/see/experience. But what about the things I’m not aware of? I don’t know what I don’t know, after all. Should it be 50 things? 100? 1000? Should I focus on doing things for myself or for others? What’s a good mix? Should it be a dynamic list or something I set in stone until it’s finished? I want to make a well rounded list so I feel like I’ve really lived, before I kick it (hopefully in many years’ time!) Thanks, Bucket Head
