Why do you want to do this?

Having turned 46 it occured to me I didn't do things just for fun. I didn't have that 8 year old excitement that one experiences when you're a child. So, I want to put fun back into my life.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Establish a list of fun activities - starting with a list of 20. Identify the basic activities and then be mindful of how to develop each one so that they represent 5 or 6 different possibilities. ie: Go for a Bike Ride 1) Alone to a quiet place on the Beach; 2) Ride with a freind to a nice place for lunch; 3) Ride to the markets

Establish a process to choose one of these each Saturday morning.

Focus and remained determined to choose and act.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Procrastination and lack of focus.

Well I've come to the second week of my Random Acts of Fun program and I've randomly ed Number 6 - "Take Bobby Bob to the Beach" and number 16 "Buy A Pot Plant". Poor Bob hasn't been to the beach in ages and I can't remember the last time i went to a nursery and did something nice for my house. So these are two great things to do for this weekend. I'm loving this idea.
