Spring List 2023

Welcome to the best time of the year! The hours are longer, it’s still cold outside and the birds simply will not shut up - what more could you want?

Here’s what I’d love to do this spring.

1. Deep clean my apartment and donate all the clothing I haven’t worn in years.

2. Prepare steak Diane at home.

3. Finally have lunch at S&P.

4. See the cherry blossoms in Central Park. (There’s a tracker to see what’s blooming before you go.)

5. Finally tour the old City Hall subway station.

As always, I encourage you to make your own spring list, even if it’s just two fun things you’d like to do. We’re all busy and I get that these lists may seem childish, but let’s be honest - I’m a lot happier than most people my age, so I think I’m onto something here. Just a thought.

If you’re looking for some ideas for yourself, here are some past spring lists I’ve made:

Spring 2022, Spring 2021, Spring 2020, Spring 2019, Spring 2018 and Spring 2016.

Spring List 2021

There is so much to look forward to right now. The songbirds are back, the snow has melted, I have a second dose vaccination date approaching and I swear I saw a bud on a tree the other day, which means that spring has sprung. I intend on really turning my life around this spring, so get the hell ready. Here are some small, fun things that I’d also like to do.

1. Go to Coney Island before the crowds of summer arrive.

2. Completely organize the closets in my house.

3. Visit Central Park at least three times.

4. Feed ducks at a pond.

5. Get fully vaccinated.

I always encourage you to make your own seasonal lists of fun little things that you’d like to do, and I’ll continue to encourage it. This has been such an awful, lonely, tiring year that these lists really tend to give my off-time some slight direction. So again I urge you, give it a try.
