Happiness expert, Gretchen Rubin, recognizes that for many of us, New Year’s Resolutions are not what helps us succeed in our hopes and dreams for 2020. 

Did the idea of writing resolutions for this new year make you tired?

However, do you want to be proactive about some organizing or downsizing projects this year?

If so, then consider Rubin’s "20 for 2020" list.

In her recent blog posting found at Gretchen Rubin on “20 for 2020”, she discusses how finding a way that’s "fresh and fun” can kickstart projects that have been hanging around.

Reminder: This is "20 for the entirety of 2020" — not something you need to accomplish in the next month! 

How might you creatively use the number 20 in your projects this year?

Here’s some ideas:

  • Sort 20 boxes from my basement or storage unit.

  • Hang 20 photos and art that have been pushed into a closet. (This one is on my personal "20 for 2020" list!)

  • Downsize for 20 minutes after each evening meal.

  • Plan calls of 20 minutes length with 20 friends or family that I never get around to calling.

  • Spend 20 minutes a week on a new hobby - or better yet, getting back to a neglected hobby and use up those supplies!

  • Gather 20 books you’re never going to read - or read again - and donate them 

I encourage you to read Gretchen Rubin’s motivating blog post and click on/download her "20 for 2020” make-this-your-own list that you can customize for yourself.

Needing help with that 20 for 2020?  Give me a shout for in-person, phone or SKYPE conversation.

Good luck with your 20 for 2020! What’s on your list?  Feel free to share! Thank you!
