By weekly


|    idealog    home

These are a selection of things to do weekly/over the span of a year - or whenever you want, of course! Many have been separated out into their own pages.

Art Attack

Starting with A, spend each week exploring a different form of art that starts with that letter.

Bio

Pick a different person each week - historical, current, obscure, or well-known, etc - and read/watch/listen to a biography each week.

Boredom Busters

Create a list of 52 boredom busters, and try one each week, even if you're not bored.

Brewed awakenings

Each week, try a new hot beverage - a new tea, a new type of coffee or brewing style, chai, or something from another culture.

Colourific

Each week, choose a different colour and wear it, eat something that colour, keep a weather eye out for it in your environment, use it to make a piece of art, find it in song, etc. Remember, there's more than just the general primaries and secondaries.

Doodlebug

Pick 52 different themes. Each week, pick one at random and spend the week doodling it. Keep a sketchbook just for your doodles. You could pick themes such as geometric shapes, fauna, plants, sweet, etc. Maybe at the end of the year you could cut the pages out and frame them together in one large wall piece.

Get up and go

Plan a small or local adventure each week, even if it's just to a museum in town, a new craft room, or a new take out you've never tried.

Gratitude Jar

Each week, write down one thing you're grateful for on a slip of paper and put it in a jar. At the start of the next year when your jar is full, take one out at random and create a piece of writing or art inspired by it.

Happy

Write a list of 52 things that make you happy, and try to indulge in at least one a week. Or try to share one with another person each week.

Learning Log

Learn something new each week, whether it's words in a new language, starting a new instrument or craft, or read up on something unfamiliar.

List

Each week, make a list of your favourites and put them away. In a year, or two, or five, take the lists out and see how (or if) your tastes have changed.

Make your mark

Every week, try a different DIY from a different category - fibre arts, wood crafts or DIY, how to putty or grout, pave your walk, etc.

Mood Board Mondays

Create a digital mood board from current events, nature, music, or anything else that impacts you.

On Your Own

Come up with a weekly challenge for yourself - whether it be something new each week of the year, or the same thing that you do each week for a year.

‘Round the World

Pick a different country each week and try a dish from there, learn a few words from their language, watch a film, take a tour of a museum or street view, and/or learn about a craft or art form.

Scavenger Hunt

Go on a hunt for specific natural items like different types of flowers, leaves, rocks, trees, squirrels, or birds. Photograph or draw your findings, rather than removing them from their space.

Sensesy

Each week, pick a different sense and and do something that focuses on that - try a new food for taste, upcycle an old piece of clothing for touch, etc.

Silver Screen

Find a way to gamify your movie-watching experience to help you choose a new movie to watch each week. If it's a foreign film, try a food from that country for your movie snack.

Staycation

Create a list of 52 things to do during a staycation, and do one each week - even if you're not staycationing.

Thingies

Choose an object for each entry and write something associated with it. It could be something from your surroundings, an item you've found, or even something from your childhood. The entries could be fictional or factual, poetic, list, or anything you choose.

To Do

Create a list of 52 (one for each week of the year) things you'd like to have done by this time next year, and cross one off per week if you can.

Upcycle

Choose an item each week you'd normally throw away and transform it into something new - a new piece of wall art, furniture, jewellery, clothing, decor, etc.

Verse

Try a different poetic style each week for a year - sonnet, haiku, villanelle, and so forth. Try poetic forms from other cultures.
