During the tasks of everyday life, we can get so busy that it can be difficult to take the energy and time to pause and reflect.<\/p>\n

For this reason, I\u2019m a big fan of any exercise that helps us to step back and think about changes we might make to become happier, healthier, more productive, or more creative.<\/p>\n

Often, that catalyst is a date, such as January 1\u2014if you want more ideas of dates to use, take a look at the Calendar of Catalysts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Questioners<\/a>\u00a0may protest that the date of January 1 is arbitrary, but it does mark a milestone in time, and is a cultural moment that reminds us to think big and broad.<\/p>\n

On the Happier with Gretchen Rubin<\/em> podcast<\/a>, we discuss different approaches to making change. For 2023, we\u2019ve talked about joining the yearly challenge (#Outside23in23<\/a>), identifying a one-word theme<\/a>\u00a0for 2023, and making a \u201c23 for 2023\u201d list.<\/p>\n

Research shows that when we set specific aims for ourselves, no surprise, we\u2019re more likely to achieve them. So taking the time to make this list can make a big difference to our happiness.<\/p>\n

Over the years, we\u2019ve seen the creative ways that people approach these lists.<\/p>\n
