42 ideas to give life to an average Tuesday

42 ideas to give life to an average Tuesday

Most of your life is an average Tuesday, so we came up with 42 realistic ideas to make them more fun, fulfilling, and memorable. 

MORNING

  1. Wake up before sunrise. Find your nearest lookout. Watch the world wake up.
  2. Slowly sip your morning coffee outside, and leave the phone behind.
  3. Ride your bike to work. Listen to an outrageously fun music playlist.
  4. Jump in some cold water first thing. The ocean. A lake. A homemade ice bath.
  5. Plan a morning workout with friends.
  6. Skip the gym for once. Find a park and take a walk or hike among the trees and birds.
  7. Plan your commute around a podcast that you’re stoked on.
  8. Bring coffee to someone who isn’t expecting it.
  9. Get breakfast with someone in your family. A Tuesday, not a holiday.
  10. Get your coffee somewhere new. Sit down for it instead of taking it to go.
  11. Walk somewhere you’d normally drive.
  12. Wake up, blast music, and dance like a maniac.

MIDDAY

  1. Hit a workout at lunch. 30 minutes. Quick shower. Quick bite.
  2. Order your favorite meal in town for lunch — it’s a special occasion.
  3. Take an afternoon work call on a walk.
  4. Reach out to someone you’d assume is out of reach.
  5. Call a friend you haven’t spoken to in at least three months.
  6. Sit with your lunch outside, alone, with no electronics.
  7. Go beast mode on work. Long hours, the big thing finally done.
  8. Or take the day off and go on a mini adventure.
  9. Make a Spotify jam with your coworkers and listen at work.
  10. Give a really meaningful compliment to someone you’re not super close with.
  11. Find a sunny spot and work from your yard on a WFH day.

EVENING / NIGHT

  1. Take a short no-phone walk.
  2. Have an epic midweek date. Special bottle of wine, a meal you’ve been craving.
  3. Finish the night with a short 5 minute gratitude journal entry.
  4. Bring your dinner somewhere beautiful.
  5. Put an hour of work into that crazy idea you’ve been too scared to start.
  6. Read a chapter of an epic story before bed.
  7. Buy yourself flowers.
  8. Go see live music on a weeknight.
  9. Cook dinner for friends after work.
  10. Go for ice cream. Let the conversation go long.
  11. Plan a group trip. Grab some beers, lock in your itinerary.
  12. Go play a sport outside.
  13. Learn to make one thing properly. Give it your full attention after work.
  14. Write someone a letter.
  15. Watch your favorite sports team play.
  16. Sit outside after dark and just look at the moon.
  17. Hit a sauna late at night.
  18. Watch a documentary on a topic you’re fascinated about.
  19. Grab a drink somewhere too expensive to regularly eat at.

Try one. Build a day around them. Or make it your own entirely.
