23 prompts for a good year

If you’re like me, as soon as the festivities are over, I start drafting a list of goals for the new year. Most of my goals are business oriented and require me to work harder and better. This isn’t wrong; I thrive on that mindset, but why not make a fun list?

After being stuck at home for over two years, I rediscovered the things I loved doing. It’s like I had almost forgotten about them and by default, I had forgotten who I was outside my business.

I noticed increased creativity and inspiration by pushing myself to do little things. Which is why, I’m inviting you to this list of 23 prompts of activities to have a good year. Because… why not?

Let’s get inspired together. Use the hashtag #23prompts, tag me at @design_ip and share your journey with me. There are technically 24 prompts, so we recommend doing 2 per month. Some prompts are easy to do, and some will push you out of your comfort zone. Have fun!
