DONTEW -- 2024
« on: January 08, 2024, 06:09:52 PM »
Anyone interested in a Do One New Thing Every Week in 2024 challenge? 

Week of 1/1/24 -- went to a movie alone (The Iron Claw... fantastic, btw). 
Week of 1/8/24 -- take a hot yoga class

Some other ideas I have:

-volunteer at an animal shelter
-write a letter to a former teacher
-try Indian food
-attend a baseball game at a new ballpark

Definitely need more ideas -- can be as simple as the above or something much more challenging/complex.

Alone movies are great. I used to go catch cheap matinees next door if I got out of work early. Accidentally caught a premiere of Mamma Mia 2 that way with a bunch of old ladies who laughed and cheered the whole time, it was awesome.

For some ideas, here's some new stuff I've tried this year so far. Last week, I visited a local museum. This week, I tried a new climbing gym. Next week I'm going to see a band I don't really know, with a friend. The week after that is a mystery... but I've been wanting to try a sauna...

Great ideas!  And the sauna is always time well spent.  If you have access to a gym that has both, 20 in the sauna and then 10 in the steam room is a really great way to spend 30 minutes (usually take a minute in between to chug some water).

Oh shit, I'm old, FIRE'd and tired. I already do a ton of volunteer and community stuff, so I'm not going to take on this challenge. I'm just here to cheer you on.

ETA: …and to find out what "DONTEW" is.

Visit a new park in your town/city/county. One good way to find new neat places is to pick up geocaching. We are casual cachers, but it has 'forced' us to visit some really cool corners of our immediate area that otherwise would have remained unknown.


 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
