A few years ago, we created our first list of “100 Things We Want to Do This Year”. Now, every December 31st we sit down and cross off all the items that we have fulfilled in the past year. Then, on New Year’s Day, we compose a new list of goals and activities for the next twelve months. This is a lot of fun, and it has kind of become a tradition in our family.
Last year we shared our template with you so that you could create a list of your own. Due to popular demand, we are introducing a new template for 2020! It’s printable and free to use for all of our readers.
This year we are gifting you FOUR templates. There are two versions of “100 Things to Do in 2020”, to be used for either individual, or family goals. There are also two abbreviated templates for “50 Things to Do in 2020” (for those of you who find the “100 Things We Want to Do” template slightly intimidating)! 😊 Enjoy!
Whether your list is 100 or only 50, how does one come up with enough activities or items to fill a list for the upcoming year? Actually, once you start jotting things down, you may find it to be easier than you’d thought. Who knows, you might even think of more than a 100 things. If you are like us, getting the ball rolling is the hardest part. Here are a few tips that help us get things going…
Tips!
TIP #1 – For the 1st 7-10 lines, list the most important goals / wishes for the New Year. (e.g. We want our www.monkeysventures.com blog to be super successful in 2020.)
TIP #2 – Break down these large goals into smaller achievable steps, measurable goals. (e.g. Write a minimum of 500 words a day to create content library of blog posts.)
TIP#3 – Or start with the small items (e.g. Straighten those pictures in the hallway.) and work your way up to the more important things!
TIP#4 – Any New Year resolutions? Write them down!
TIP#5 – Ask yourself questions. What makes me happy? What accomplishments will make you proud?
TIP#6 – Have you been procrastinating on some projects? Put those to the “Top 100 List I want to Do in 2020” as well!
TIP#7 — POST THIS LIST WHERE YOU WILL SEE IT EASILY AND OFTEN!!! If you don’t, well… you know that saying, “out of sight, out of mind”. It’ll simply be forgotten, and nothing will get done. 😊
Finally, and most importantly, have fun with your list! There are no rules or limits as to what can be added.
Happy New 2020 Year! May it be full of love, success, and happy adventures! Cheers!
