I bought a book of “offline activities” (where you’re supposed to tear one out each week for a year). Here are a handful of my favorite ideas:
- Look into someone’s eyes for five minutes without talking
- Write a letter to yourself and open it a year later
- Go to the library to solve a problem
- Write down an overheard conversation
- Take a new route to an old place
- Re-read a book
- Make someone breakfast
- Write down a list of things you love
- Write a letter to someone you admire
- Plant something
The first one just because it’s weird and we should all be more weird together. The rest because they’re just genuinely good ideas.
