There’s something magical about fall – the crisp air, golden leaves, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin-spiced everything. One of the most fun ways to celebrate the season is by creating a Fall Bucket List in your journal or planner.
In this post, we’ll walk you through how to create your own autumn-themed bucket list using planner stickers, washi tape, and seasonal layouts to keep you inspired all season long.
🍂 What Is a Fall Bucket List?
A bucket list is a collection of seasonal goals, activities, or moments you want to enjoy before fall ends. It helps you slow down and savor the best parts of autumn — from simple joys like drinking hot cider to full fall adventures like visiting a pumpkin patch.
Adding it to your planner makes it easier to track and more fun to complete!

- Add tip-ins or flip-outs with washi to include bonus ideas or photos
