Create Your 19 for 2019!

This activity is fun, and easier than the Annual Review for goal planning. I made a list of all the things I could do to bring more joy and greater satisfaction to my life. I then ordered the list so that one-time items were at then top. Since some of these items are easier to complete, I will have the satisfaction of marking them done sooner. Here’s my 19 for 2019:

One-Time

• Family meditation retreat in MN or CA
• New professional bag
• Complete an indoor triathlon
• Organize basement
• Donate Maya’s old toys
• Take a class with Maya
• Redecorate home office
• KonMari my clothes or get rid of one clothing item for every new item
• Take a girls trip
• Vacation in a new city

Ongoing

• Automate finances and reconcile weekly/monthly with Mint
• Simplify filing and file weekly
• Get another yoga mat and do yoga weekly
• Bike to office April-October weekly when temps above 40F
• Meet with at least 1 friend each month
• Go to a new restaurant or venue every month
• Quarterly museum or live theater visit
• Read 1 book for pleasure 1 for development each quarter
• Give 4 coaching talks

For some of these I did not set the bar very high because I really want this entire list to be achievable. My theme for the year is “Embrace” so there is an emphasis on relationships, enjoyable activities and simplifying.

I want to give credit to Gretchen Rubin for the idea of the “19 for 2019.” You can hear more about it on her Happier Podcast – Episode #203.

I’m wishing you a wonderful and satisfying 2019. Get in touch with me if you’d like some strategizing and accountability along the way!
