A5 bucket list journal: 100 dreams, plans, savings and adventure stories

A5 bucket list journal inserts give A5 or Half Letter ring binders and discbound planners 33 undated pages for writing down 100 dreams, planning them one step at a time, saving toward them and keeping the story of each adventure. Along with the A5 and Half Letter PDFs, print-and-cut A4 and Letter files are included, each sheet holding two pages. It is an instant download and nothing is shipped.

It turns a vague wish list into real plans, booked trips and memories you can flip back through.

How the A5 bucket list journal turns dreams into plans

Warm up with the dream big prompts and 72 starter ideas across eight life areas. Then fill five numbered pages with 100 dreams, each carrying a tick box and a column for the date you did it. For the dreams you want to go after now, a two-page planning spread asks why it matters, what it might cost, eight dated steps and the tiniest first move. A trip planner and a savings page with 100 circles help you get from idea to booking.

When you tick one off, log it with stars and write out what happened on the adventure journal spread, where there is room to stick in a photo or a ticket stub. The 14 mm inside margin moves between left and right on alternate pages, so each two-page section lies open properly once printed double-sided.

Who this bucket list journal is for

• Owners of an A5 6-ring binder, half letter binder or junior discbound planner who want a bucket list section
• Dreamers and travelers ready to plan, budget and finally book the trips on their list
• Anyone facing a big birthday, a fresh chapter or retirement who wants to live more on purpose
• Journalers who love saving stories, photos and tickets from every adventure in one small binder

Design and printing

• Elegant and minimal, white pages with soft blush pink accents that go easy on ink
• Wide margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Two portrait insert sizes, A5 and Half Letter, plus print-and-cut sheets for A4 and US Letter
• Undated, so begin whenever you like and reprint the dream planning and adventure journal spreads for each new dream
• Mirrored margins with 14 mm at the binding (left on odd pages, right on even pages) and 8 mm on the outer edge
• Lines spaced 6.5 mm or more and type of at least 8.5 pt, easy to write on at a small size
• Each print-and-cut sheet has a dashed center line and cut ticks, so one cut leaves two pages
• For true spreads, print the A5 or Half Letter file on both sides and turn on the long edge
• Use it in a binder or on a clipboard, or ask a print shop to spiral bind it

• Printed colors can differ a little from your screen.
• Your files are for personal use. Sharing, reselling or redistributing them is not allowed.
• Digital files cannot be returned, but if a file will not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.

• The savings pages are a simple tracker for your own goals and are not financial advice.
