Creative Planning Activity #2

17th of December ~

If you have not completed Creative Planning Activity #1 you might want to do that first. Once you’ve listed your twenty things download this worksheet to complete the exercise: TwentyThings part two

After you’ve answered the questions look for patterns.

Are you indulging in your favorite activities often enough?
Do all your favorites require enormous planning that can stall you?
Do you need others to have fun?

The first time I did this exercise I was quite smug. I had a nice variety in all the columns and I was enjoying myself regularly. Then I got to the last column–all my favorites were OLD standbys. I hadn’t picked up a new activity in years. Which kind of surprised me. It gave me some insight to patterns that were keeping me in a rut, creatively speaking.

From this activity you might come to a few new goals to add to the fodder of your Creative Planning for 2010.

I did get a surprise from this. I thought I wasn't having very much fun and then I found that I was doing a lot of the things I enjoy. Areas for improvement are to start doing some of them with others and to find some new things to do that are fun. Of course, some of my standbys are impossible here so that makes finding new things even more important. Thanks for this exercise, Maggie.
