Making more time for yourself can be a lot easier when you turn it into something fun. Me Time Bingo is a simple way to challenge yourself to make a little more room for the things you enjoy, whether that’s taking yourself out for coffee, spending an evening with a favorite hobby or giving yourself permission to do absolutely nothing.
The best part is that you get to decide what belongs on your card. Choose 24 ideas from the list below that sound good to you and add them to the bingo page in your DPC planner. Pick a mix of quick little treats, things you’ve been wanting to do and a few ideas that might encourage you to shake up your normal routine. Then see how many you can check off – a row, a few lines or the whole card.
Just remember, this isn’t about giving yourself another list of things you should be doing. Fill your card with things you’ll actually look forward to.
