Making a "Fun List"
Feb. 18th, 2026 09:14 pmToday I've been musing the idea of a "fun list" for fun things I'd like to do over the next few weeks / months. At least I need to note down somewhere the ideas flying around inside my head! This is separate from ongoing daily/weekly/monthly to do lists I keep track of in my Hobonichi paper journal which I've blogged about using before. Basically the Hobonichi records what I've been up to, as well as things that I need to do, and how I get on tackling those. It's relaxing sitting taking stock in my Hobonichi planner daily with a fountain pen in hand. Though the to do lists there tend to be fixed to specific time periods, less free floating and more critical.
A "fun list" is a new idea for me, and could be a good addition. Maybe looking ahead 6 months or longer. Anyway I've just started an experimental one in the Notes app on my Mac/iOS devices. Just a few things in there for starters, but it's fun (haha!) to ponder fun things (think "sparks joy" fun) that I'd like to do if I get the chance. Nothing too ambitious, and focused on what I can manage at home, in my brief awake times. No pressure to do any of these, but rather a buffet of ideas I can pick from should I have a chance. But yes, fun. I might have worn that word out ...
