208-22 For 2022

This is so fun, I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this before.  Wait until you hear how the 22 for 2022 list works.

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and in early December I listened to a podcast from Gretchen Rubin about her 22 in 2022.  In fact, she’s been doing what she calls “aims” for years, 21 in 2021 and so on.  And I just thought it was such a great idea, I wanted to share it with you quick.  

 

The idea is that you write down 22 things you want to accomplish in 2022.  These are things you can look back at the past year and say yes or no to accomplishing them. 

 

I’ll share some of the things on my list, to help inspire you.  One thing is the “album of now” that you can learn about in episode 203. I am totally doing this.  

 

Some other things, that are not so glamorous are: 

• Get my Real-ID 
• Organize my closet
• Walk around my house and video everything while narrating for insurance - in case of emergency 
• Complete the children’s baby books. 
• Download all of my iCloud photos and organize them by year (setting the bar low) 
• Review yearly photos and label and organize further (an extension but another achievable task to break down this massive project I have)
• Create photo albums of past years on a photo sharing site
• Compile all of our iPhone videos to create a digest of the children’s lives. 

 

Really all of these photo related topics are because we have so much media, I’m obsessed with creating photos and video and it’s not really organized well and I just hate the idea of going into another year with no organization around the things that are most important to me. 

 

And I have some health goals that I want to make sure I am focusing on in 2022 

• Drink ½ my bodyweight in water daily and track in my habit app 
• Do at least 50 push-ups a day and track in my habit app
• Consume my vitamins daily  and track in my habit app 

 

What I was finding is that I believe these are all important, but I just lost focus and the habits slipped.  So I want to be incredibly mindful and intentional this year, in 2022.  

 

I may add a focus to walk a certain amount each week as well.  Daily is hard for me, but weekly, maybe I can do that. 

 

Of course I have some business aims too, they include 

• Create and offer Everyday Happiness Merch 
• Open the membership community to new members  

 

 This has been a great exercise to identify what I want to aim for in 2022. I’d be curious if you plan to do something like this, or if you already have.  We’re over @everydayhappinesswithkatie
