22 Ideas for Your Two’s Day Challenge

We’ve all got that “one thing.” The thing we’ve been wanting to do but just haven’t gotten around to yet. So, if you were to pick one thing to start on (or at least start working towards) tomorrow, what would it be?

For the once-in-a-lifetime Two’s Day Challenge, pick your thing and take two tiny steps toward it. Not only will you feel light and giddy to have taken the first and hardest step toward the thing you want, if you post by 2/22/22 you’ll be entered in a giveaway to win $2,222 from us!

Need some inspiration? Or maybe just a little shake-rattle-and-roll to dust the cobwebs off in your brain where that back-of-the-mind dream is currently collecting dust—try these 22 ideas on for size!

Got your idea? Ooh, the excitement is palpable. The next question is how are you going to make it happen? Here in 2022 we’re all about little tiny steps instead of grand sweeping gestures.

If your dream requires time:

  • Set a daily alarm and when it goes off, commit to doing “that thing” for 22 minutes.

If your dream requires money:

  • Create a zero-based budget with “that thing” as a category, and fund it with $22 (fitting for this Two’s Day, eh?).

Not sure what your dream is? Here’s a nifty little trick: make a list of contenders. Just do a big old brain dump in the ol’ budget. Optional: add in their total cost.

Next, give yourself $22 and see what category “attracts” the money. Where would give you the most joy? Most delight? Most feeling of satisfaction? Put it in that category. That’s your goal!

See what goal attracts the dollars: let the money do the talking! Shown here in a YNAB budget.

Wishing you all the best for this Two’s Day challenge. Make the things that matter happen, one itty bitty step at a time.
