So she reviewed her history—and realised: “most of my big passion projects seem to have appeared out of the blue as invitations I found myself saying ‘yes’ to.”So instead, this year, she is getting excited by Interesting Micro Projects—or as she calls them: IMPs!Some examples of Hazel’s IMPs are: “a schedule of local pilgrimages, days set aside for home writing retreats, perfecting home-baked bread recipes, finding interesting podcasts to listen to, strengthening her relationship with her vegetable patch.”She told me: “These IMPs may grow into HUGs, but for now I’m just happy planting seeds and tending saplings… the notion of HUGS led me to IMPs—and a life filled with playful imps can’t be bad.”So when you’re completing your 25 Things to Do Funsheet consider channelling Hazel with her enthusiastic and playful IMPs…Finally, 4 Inspiring Quotes“If you don’t know what you want, you’ll never find it.” Ryū Murakami“It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal.
