2025 Theme: Keep it Simple and Have Fun🎈
💡 Every year I sit down and reflect on the new year with the following topics:
- IDEAS
- NEW PERSPECTIVES
- What would I like to change about myself?
- What would I like to change about my lifestyle?
I also choose a theme/topic focus for the year. And in 2025 I want to focus on simplicity and having fun. After a year of focusing on my health I feel like I want to enjoy time outdoors and travel a bit.
IDEAS
- Keep it simple!
- I want to have a central paper planner to have a nice overview of my year and weeks. This planner will integrate work and personal projects and my calendar.
- I will also use my paper planner to jot down some gratitude notes every day.
- I want to remember and reinforce concepts of simplicity and minimalism.
- I want to increase my time meditating each day.
- I want to remember to have fun and return to activities that I’ve been avoiding, like playing video games.
- I want to be able to do forward cross overs on both directions and start backward crossovers in ice skating.
- Continue running and hiking. Get more muscle mass going to the gym.
- GTD: stick with what works and keep it simple. Avoid switching apps and overthinking my system. Focus on doing.
- Start some long-term financial goals (thinking about future retirement years).
- Travel more. Travel somewhere in Canada (first idea: road trip to the Maritimes).
- Balance my reading with having fun playing video games.
NEW PERSPECTIVES
- I miss a bit of a tactile experience to plan my life. I will start using a year paper planner to integrate my life vision/plans.
- I want to have simple but effective tools. For example: Journaling in Standard Notes instead of having one more app to manage.
- I want journaling to be even more present in my daily routine.
- I will focus on having in person experiences.
What would I like to change about myself?
- I want to be more relaxed and focus more on having fun and feeling good.
- I will be braver and write more on my blog. I have so many things to say, I have ideas, and I want to put them out there, even if nobody reads it and even if it feels unfinished. I want to become a a regular writer and expose myself more.
What would I like to change about my lifestyle?
- I currently like my lifestyle. I don’t think I want to change it for this year.
- I will still be working my full-time job with clear delineation between work and personal schedules.
- My free time will be for reading, exercising, relaxing, having fun and taking care of myself.
