When doing my brainstorm, I put down every idea that popped into my mind, no matter how ridiculous it was (there was no way I could ask my parents to get me a dog or a new car). When looking at the list, I saw that there were many ideas that were very similar, just slight variations of one another. I kept looking at my concept board the whole time and would try to look at individual pictures to give me ideas. The central themes that I saw from the list were around organization and structure, being active whether it be fitness or getting outside the house, or ways to do things that make me happy.
From the fifty, the five ideas that I want to do is first clean up and organize my room by putting away all my stuff from college that I brought home and haven’t unpacked, and then organize my life by creating a schedule for myself. I then want to be more active by choosing to do 30-day challenges, whether it be food, health, or fitness related as a way for me to have short term goals and challenges I can work towards. The next one would be to have more social distancing hangouts and adventures with friends. Whether it be taking beach walks 6 feet apart or hanging out in a parking lot sitting in the trunks of our cars, just being able to have more human interaction and make life seem more normal all while being safe. Finally, one idea that might be a little more out there, but one that I would still like to try is to go and stay in my aunt’s and uncle’s house in Maine and see if I am more productive there than at my house. I think being home makes me less productive because of how I might associate it with vacation and not really school work, so I would like to see if a change of scene would make me more productive since I could pretend like I am more at school.
