A "21 for 2021" list is a list of 21 concrete things we want to accomplish by the end of 2021.
Why make a "21 for 2021" list at all?
Research shows that people who construct their goals in concrete terms are 50 percent more likely to feel confident they will attain their goals and 32 percent more likely to feel in control of their lives.
Twists on the idea:
- make a list of things that you'll stop doing
- use your birthday instead of the calendar year, such as 30 by 30.
- tailor it to single area of your life, like work, fun, or family life
- create a list with others, such as a sweetheart or family, to tackle the items together
- decorate your list
- make a list that only includes things that are fun
- use the number 21 within the list, such as "Read 21 books" or "Visit 21 diners"
- make item #21 "Swap out one item on this list for something I'd rather do"
