Yesterday we hiked the road to the tower of our local state park. It has well-marked trails, as well as a road to the tower. We haven’t been there in a very long time, but instead of walking on the treadmill, I said, “Let’s go to the tower!”



While we were walking, I came up with a plan to track what was important to me. In 2026, I want to keep track of hikes, bike rides, and day trips or longer travel events.
It took me three tries earlier in the month, but I have my day planner for the upcoming year. I was like Goldilocks. I ordered one from Amazon and returned it, bought one from Walmart, and gave it to my husband. I finally looked a little harder and bought this one on Amazon.

In the back, it has blank pages, and will keep a list of each event. I’ll likely write it in on the day itself, but by having a list, I can tell with a glance that we need to take a hike! I think I will write about potential places to visit on the Events/Travel page.



This is part of my plan for a more thoughtful 2026.
Do you do anything like this?
