{Full disclaimer: I have totally pilfered the idea for this post from the ever lovely Estée Lalonde.}
When I was trying to make my list of 5 things, the first one that popped into my mind was pizza. Can I have that? Let's be honest, everyone needs to make more time for pizza. You know how it goes, there's always stuff that you want to do but never actually get around to it. I probably have more spare time on my hands than the average human at the moment, yet I still don't seem to do the things that I keep putting off. So here is my bonafide list of things that I want to make more time for.
1. Exploring.
What with all the moving and job changing, O and I have put adventuring on the back burner recently. But now that we're living in a new city, we have plenty of opportunities to explore - starting with the little coffee and pastry food truck in the local park. We will hit that up this weekend! PS If you have any Norwich or even Norfolk recommendations, please comment below!
2. Reading.
I have about five unfinished books on my bookshelf at the moment. Whenever I get time to read, I always think of something else that I should be doing. I used to love reading before bed, but I've gotten out of the habit of it lately. My mission is to finish at least one of them in November.
3. Yoga.
I used to jump on the mat every single week day religiously in the summer. But again, I've let this slip recently and my downward facing dog looks more like a snoozy poodle these days! It probably doesn't help that my yoga mat is still lying in an unpacked box in the spare room. I want to do Adriene's 30 days of yoga cycle again to get me back into the flow.
4. Offline.
Oscar and I are both guilty of being slaves to our phones/iPads/laptops/Xbox's. Before we moved we used to eat dinner on the sofa and watch many many episodes of The Big Bang Theory. Now that we have a dining room, we eat dinner at the table without our phones. We actually speak to each other now (shocking I know). I waste so many hours being online doing absolutely nothing when I could've been finishing all those books I have on the go. I need to turn off my devices and be more productive. Sorry Netflix.
5. Date Nights.
These have been pretty few and far between of late. We usually try to have one at least every two weeks, but I actually can't remember when our last one was. Tomorrow evening marks our first date night in Norwich. We're off to see Spectre and then for some dinner. I think we just need to pencil these dates into our diaries like any other appointments so that they don't get forgotten about.
How about you lovely people? What do you want to make more time for? I know at this time of the year, some sofa and blanket time will also be high up on my list...along with ALL the pizza!
