Planner Prompt 2025 Week 1 - Dec 30-Jan 5: Reflect on your Definition of Fun. What fun experiences or activities would you like to try this year?

 In other words, what's going on your bucket list this year?

I am starting my third Curation planner by Saint Belford. They're sold out of all their 2025 planners already, but you can still get an undated version here.

Each week of the planner contains a prompt for self care, etc., and in each planner the first week of 2025 and the last week of 2024 are the same week (Dec 30-Jan 05), but the prompts are very different. I've done week 53 of 2024 already. 

What do I find fun?

Reading. Hiking. Laughing at funny stories.

I like to be fulfilled, to accomplish things that are out of my comfort zone, but not traumatizingly so. 

I would like to see Haida Gwaii this year. 

I would like to bring others joy by writing a funny book.

I would like to hike in to a camping night. 

I would like to cross-country ski more times this year than last year (so, at least once, basically). 

I would like to learn to Belly Dance again. 

I would like to learn to play the piano so that it has more joy itself, and isn't just a piece of furniture.

I want to feel like I tried something new, make time for the things I love, and still have time to nap. 

Planner Prompt Week 53 - Dec 30-Jan 5: Reflect on the Last 12 Months

I am in love with Curation planners for reasons including the focus on the Self Care, the layouts, and the fact I have used it for two entire years (been a while since I've used one for an entire year through). At the end of each planner they have space for reflecting on your last 12 months.

What's super helpful is the Memory Bank. It's pretty helpful to look back at the year and know that you went to a movie with K2 in November. I know when I took my tree down last year (February); this year it's coming down today. I know when I went to the theatre or symphony, when I had UTI's, when I had coffee with friends.

The next section is the 2024 Reflection, and the prompts are: What are you most proud of? What brought you the most joy and fulfillment this year? If you could rewind the year, what advice would you give yourself? List your biggest insights and lessons. Reflect on how you spent your time and energy this year, what do you want to spend more and less time doing, and where do you want to focus your time and energy for 2025?

I am most proud of doing a CrossFit competition, and hiking a long & hard trail.

Camping, and spending time with family and friends brought me the most joy this year. Progress I made physically, and actually trying to write, gave me great fulfillment.

I don't have much for advice, except to take care of myself. 

I like myself more when I'm not unnecessarily lazy. I do need downtime, but I could watch less TV. Reading always feels like a guilty pleasure, but I'd feel less guilty reading all day than I would watching TV all day. Figure that one out. 

I spent less time on School PAC things, and I'm happier for it. I spent more time on me.

I want to spend my time and energy getting healthier, and working on the house that drives me crazy. I have wanted to repaint the interior for years. I've done some, but not all, and I hate the light-sucking mushroom colour that exists right now. We need to organize the laundry room, under the deck, and the shed so that everything in the house has a safe place to be. I don't need a show-home, but I'm getting tired of not being able to find things.

I want to spend more time with family and friends, most of all.

What about you?
