You do so much for other people. You fill all the shoes in your daily life – partner, caregiver, cook, doctor, teacher, driver. The list goes on and on. When was the last time you took some time just for you? In 2020, let’s set aside 20 minutes a day to make ourselves a priority. Join me for the 20 in 2020 Challenge.

As we turn the calendar to a new decade, I’m making a promise to myself to spend just 20 minutes a day with a journal, notebook, or planner.
I’m keeping this goal wide open. Some days I’ll focus on the things I’m grateful for, some days I’ll spend the time planning the important events of my upcoming week, other days I’ll zoom in to really look at my long-term goals and the things I’m doing (or not doing) that will get me closer to them.
Some ways you can spend 20 minutes on you in 2020 include:
- a gratitude journal
- planning (and checking off!) your to-do list
- budgeting journal
- goal-setting journal
- mood journal
- healthy habits journal
- exercise and wellness tracker
- wedding or pregnancy journal
- vision board
- religious or spirituality journal
- medical journal
- moments to remember
- travel journal
2020 Erin Condren Life Planner
A couple of the things I’m doing in my Life Planner for the 20 in 2020 Challenge are tracking what I’m reading, my “no-spend” days, and other monthly goals on the month overview page. I’ve set mine up like this:
If you have a suggestion for that little box on the right side I’d love to hear it! I’m still at a loss for what to include there!
I am tracking my personal thoughts on the books I read using this key:
I am also spending more time on reflection and gratitude. I have always loved this Year in Pixels idea and have replicated it in my new Life Planner:
Petite Planner System
- monthly planner
- budget book
- wellness log
- gratitude journal
- meal planner
- checklist
- goal setting journal
- travel journal
- medical treatment log
- wedding checklist and to-dos
- pregnancy journal
- baby tracker
- moments to remember
- daily planner (in four quarterly editions)
- and more!
These books will all be part of my 20 in 2020 gift to myself. I’d love for you to join me in the Challenge! Email me or leave a blog post comment to share how you’re participating!
