Earlier in the year, I wrote a post about how 2016 had 365 fresh starts and new chances to be whoever we wanted to be, and someone commented and said, "I have good news for you: We get 366 of those this year." It's true! We get an entire extra day this year, one that you probably weren't planning on. So I have some suggestions for how you should spend it!
Revisit one of your New Years goals. Did you make a goal to go to the gym more, but you've really only been twice? Go to the gym on Monday!
Have a party you would never have otherwise. Looking for a reason to throw that obscurely themed party? Here you go!
Catch up on something you fell behind on this month. Whether it's something boring like spreadsheets at work or something fun like an instagram challenge-whatever you're behind in, use Monday to catch up and get back on schedule!
Start a new tradition. From now on, celebrate each leap year by watching a certain type of movie or eating a certain type of food.
Do something you keep saying you would do if you had the time. Try out that new coffee shop or donate your old clothes to Goodwill or get your oil changed or whatever it is you keep procrastinating on. Warning: If you actually do this, you will have to find some other project to keep you busy procrastinating for the rest of the year.
Or, come home from work and go to bed early and get way more sleep than you did last year. Hey, it's your extra day. Do whatever you want.
Happy Friday!
