Category 52 in 52

It’s Sunday morning, and I should be doing a workout on my bike.

Instead, I stayed up too late watching the Winter Olympics, still woke up just after 5 am (rude), and now I’m tired and procrastinating on the couch.

So obviously, this feels like the perfect time to write a little update on my 52s.

Journalling

This year, I really wanted to get back into using a planner properly. Towards the end of last year, I noticed that writing things down and actually spending a bit of time setting out my day really helped reduce that constant feeling of chaos.

If you’re new around here, every year I write a list of 52 things to do in 52 weeks, kind of like new years resolutions, but just a lot more of them.

I try to keep the list fun, but sometimes I’ll sneak some things in that are items I’ve been putting off, or just need that bit of extra motivation.

I also pick a “word of the year” every year too. Last year my word was “joy”, and my 52 list was very centered around that.

This year my word is “resilience”. I want to learn to be more resilient, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for my child to develop the same skills as well.…
