Every year I type out a list of 10-20 items that I want to complete in the year. Some are silly, some are big, some are (potentially) life-changing, but they are written here, and written in my journal at home that I use near-daily, so they are around and 'out there'. It helps keep me accountable to plan intentionally our weekends, fitting things in I want to make space for, whether they're an afternoon roller-skating or following a specific way of eating for 30+ days. If it matters to you, make space for it.
People ask me how I accomplish so much, and I *know* it's because I plan ahead of time, and am intentional about putting it on the calendar weeks, if not months in advance. Maybe once in a blue moon it's days in advance. Having the life you want takes a lot of work and a lot of thought, it doesn't happen by chance. How few things in your life that you're proud of, that you worked hard for, just fell into your lap? Yeah, I can't think of very many, either!
Quite a few of these are, noticably "bucket list" items that will happen in Europe, this summer when we're there. I haven't been there in nearly 15 years, and we've intentionally saved points for 3.5 years so that we could go for (mostly) free. Some of them are open because I want to stew a bit before I make all of them. It might even be July before a few of these get filled, but when I know, I'll write them down. Again, nothing big happens if you don't plan ahead for it. I am super excited for 2020!~
