I first heard about this idea on one of my favorite podcasts. I’ve adopted it and encouraged my family and the Happy Healthy Caregiver community to join the FUN. I even created a fresh new FUNsheet for you to use!
Resolutions and goals can be heavy, but this activity is about your definition of FUN.
Steps to Create Your 20 for 2025 List
- Request the FUNsheet download here.
- Write down 20 things you want to do, try, have, achieve, be, or go to at some point in 2025.
- Post it where you can see it, perhaps on your desk, fridge, walk-in closet wall, or bathroom mirror. You could also add it as your computer desktop or phone’s wallpaper.
- Optional: Share it socially for even more accountability. Use the hashtag #20for2025 and tag Happy Healthy Caregiver on Instagram.
Here’s the list I created for 2024 to spark some of your ideas!
Since I’m looking at this sheet all year, it’s fun to make it colorful. If you can’t think of 20 things, don’t stress. Having some blank boxes allows you the flexibility to add something throughout the year.
Tip: If you want to do something a specific number of times, draw little checkboxes. Like 4 checkboxes for each quarter.
Some ideas I’m pondering for 2025
- Self-care at Sea Cruise!
- Read 25 books
- Listen to 25 books
- See the Northern Lights
- Attend a silent book club
- Coordinate an extended family cabin trip
- E-bike the Silver Comet trail
More ideas to come! I’ll share my list with you once it’s complete.
A fun family tradition these past few years has been that my family finalizes and shares their list on New Year’s Eve. We go someplace yummy for lunch and do a big reveal. Doing this activity with your family allows you to share some of the same items and help each other check them off. Get your care recipient involved in this activity, too!
Start your 20 for 2025 at any time
Even though I’ll be kicking off the new year with my 20 for 2025 list, you can start this anytime. Enter your information to have the PDF FUNsheet sent to your email. Don’t wait for a calendar day to tell you to make happy and healthy changes, try new things, seize the days ahead, and enjoy your life.
