#89 – visit a quirky museum
We’ve all seen or heard about small, local museums dedicated to a specific topic. They can be about local history, a particular product, or type of art. Even the history of a business or location. Visit these museums. The Shell Museum. The SPAM Museum. The World’s Smallest Art Museum. You’ll get more out of the experience than you ever thought possible.
#84 – listen to the radio
Listen to random local stations. Listen to people telling their stories. Listen to atypical types of music. Listen in the car. At the beach. While doing yard work.
Take advantage of this free medium for entertainment.
#80 – mend clothing
If the hem comes undone on your pants, or you have a split seam, instead of getting rid of your clothes (or wearing them with the flaw), simply hand stitch the seam. Anyone can learn how with patience! More complicated repair needed? You can often find seamstresses who can help alter or repair clothing for a small fee online or in your neighborhood.
#79 – read classic books
Books become classics for a reason. Leaders and innovators from the past read and learned from these same books. Even though times have changed, there is always something to relate to and remember our similarities as people. Read classic books!
#74 – be inspired
Spend time around people who inspire you. Older people who can inspire you to live your best life. People who have achieved similar goals to yours. Friends who are always there for you. Be inspired by others.
#72 – track your expenses
Keep track of every penny in & out of your life for some period of time. (Even the change you find on the street). That log will be very revealing about how you spend or unconciously prioritize spending in your life.
#70 – go on a factory tour
It’s fun and educational to see how things are made. Ever marvel at the “Sesame Street” video of a crayon factory? Lots of factories offer tours to the public.
