30-Day Challenge: A List of Lists
For me, lists are a way to create order out of chaos. I love to see things categorized, organized, and laid out nicely. But not all lists need to be about organizing, decluttering, or goal-setting. Try this 30-day list challenge to record memories and aspirations. These 30 lists to make are a selection of prompts to help you record fond memories and dream about the future. Plus, they’re just fun!
How to Use These List Prompts
One List a Day for a 30-Day List Challenge
If you love lists, you might want to try writing a list a day for 30 days as a challenge. April, June, September, and November have exactly 30 days, but you definitely don’t have to stick to those time periods.
Print out a list of these lists from my free resource library, pick a day, and start listing!
I also have a 30-day list challenge with list ideas related to organizing and planning. You’ll find more info on that in my article detailing 30-Day Challenges to Try This Year.
When Inspiration Strikes
Another way to use these list ideas is to read through the list prompts and start writing down your thoughts as they come to mind. Keep your lists on your phone or print them out in and save them in a pretty binder and add to them whenever an idea comes to mind.
