|    idealog    home

Every day on my Idealog account on Bluesky - except for the days I forget - I share a quick creative idea and archive the month's list here on the last day.

  1. Make a list of things to start saying no to.
  2. Give someone access to a camera and ask them to spend the day taking pictures of everything they find beautiful. (Good activity to have a child do.)
  3. Make a list of things you'd like to do for yourself.
  4. Make a list of small ways to make a difference in the world, then do one.
  5. Listen to a podcast about an unfamiliar subject.
  6. Attend a songwriting workshop.
  7. Make a mobile.
  8. Start a book based on a true story.
  9. Host or join an urban astronomy night.
  10. Learn to draw something you've never drawn before.
  11. Attend a virtual concert or webinar.
  12. Try a new form of self-care, such as a favourites day or meditation.
  13. Send handwritten letters to friends, family, or others.
  14. Create a pop art-inspired portrait of a historical figure, or from a family portrait.
  15. Make a mosaic from old tiles, glass, or stone.
  16. Draw simple designs or messages on index cards or postcards.
  17. Visit or volunteer at an urban garden or community farm.
  18. Create a support list. What is important to you? What causes, what people can best do to help, etc.
  19. What are your little wonders? It's always the little things that bring the most joy.
  20. What are the things you've never done? Do one!
  21. Plan your ideal day, even if you have to wait to do it.
  22. For each letter of the alphabet, write about a topic that starts with that letter.
  23. Do something you miss doing.
  24. Make a list of future logs, then start one.
  25. Learn to create envelopes out of decorative scrapbooking paper.
  26. Create your own set of magnetic words for your fridge.
  27. Make a list of things to keep. It doesn't have to be thing things, it could include promises.
  28. Craft a miniature sculpture from whatever you have laying around.
  29. Make a list of things that remind you of home.
  30. Big TBR pile? Spend the month of your choice reading the first page of a different unread book. You can find my November 2024 list here.
