27. Get Out of the House | Your Fall Bucket List for 2026

How many things on last year's fall list did you actually do? If the answer is two, you're in good company. Most of us save the pumpkin patch pictures, mean every word, and then watch the season close before we ever leave the house. These fall bucket list ideas are built to fix that.

In this episode, Monti shares the ten outings she puts on her list every fall, from the classics to the slow, cozy ones, plus the simple system that gets a bucket list off your notes app and onto your calendar. She also makes the case that planning your own joy isn't frivolous, especially in a heavy year.

You'll walk away with a list you can start this weekend, the timing for each item so nothing closes before you get there, and a plan to book the ones that sell out. Take what sounds fun and leave the rest.

In this episode of The Purfect Sunday Podcast:

Why a fall bucket list isn't silly — and what planned joy gives back when life feels heavyHow to actually finish the list — the three moves most people skipThe classics, done better — when to go so you skip the crowds and get the best pickThe outings that get your heart rate up — including the one that sells out weeks aheadThe slow ones — easy, cheap fall date ideas that barely need planningThe item to prioritize most — the one you'll be glad you did years from now

This Week's Self-Improvement Challenge

Do one thing this week.

Open your calendar and put one item from the list on it with a real date. Not a maybe. A date.

If it needs a ticket, buy the ticket this week too.
