Taking a page from Michael Rhodes' book, I made a list of the day trips, museums, cute towns, etc. that I want to visit. On the first of each month, it's on the calendar as 'choose a day trip,' I go through the list and plan my day. It's a great way to see the places I kept saying I wanted to see.

I'm starting a 'restaurants I want to try' list and doing the same thing; scheduling lunches with friends at new restaurants. :)
