Life can often feel like a never-ending loop of routines (smirking in the corner), but what if each month held a new adventure?
That’s the idea behind my new monthly-themed activity plan, where each month is dedicated to a specific theme that influences everything from what I read to what I listen to, watch, and even the skills I develop. It’s like giving myself a little gift of discovery every 30/31 days.
Why a Monthly Theme?
Having themed months adds a layer of excitement and intention to everyday life. It’s not just about passing time but truly engaging with it. Whether it’s the dawn of a new year, a focus on building better habits, or diving into a genre of music you’ve never explored, themed months can provide direction and motivation. It’s like having a personal project that evolves every few weeks, keeping things fresh and invigorating.
How It Works
Choosing the Theme The first step is picking a theme that resonates with you. January might be dedicated to new beginnings—perfect for reading books on habits, resolutions, and personal growth. February could focus on love, not just romantic, but self-love, compassion, and relationships. March might delve into the mysteries of the world, with explorations into history, cultures, and legends. The possibilities are endless and can be as broad or as niche as you like.
I’m using the Listy app for creating the lists. Why? Because, it’s an aesthetically pleasing list that can list out movies, music, anime, manga and even embed from links. I enjoy using it.
