April 2025 To Do List

Let’s be real—after months of cold, gray skies and that lingering winter blah feeling, April feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s the perfect time to shake off the heaviness, embrace what makes you happy, and welcome in a season of lightness and joy. Whether you’re itching to try something new or just want to feel a little more like yourself again, we’ve got three simple ways to bring more goodness into your days.

1. Create Your Joy List

Okay, lovely—what lights you up? Not just the big things, but the little everyday moments that make you smile. This month, carve out a few quiet minutes to jot down your own personal joy list. It could be sipping coffee in your favorite mug, blasting music while you clean, or that one park bench with the perfect view.

Your list doesn’t need to be fancy—just real. Keep it somewhere visible (we love writing it in a cute Good Things notebook) and revisit it anytime your joy needs a little jumpstart.

2. Try a New Hobby (Just for You)

There’s something magical about learning just for the fun of it. No deadlines, no pressure to be great—just play. This month, give yourself permission to try something new. Paint, bake, learn calligraphy, pick up that instrument that’s been collecting dust. Anything that sparks curiosity or makes your soul say, this feels good.

Even if it’s just once a week, adding a creative or relaxing hobby into your routine is a sweet reminder that joy doesn’t need to be productive. It just needs to feel right.

3. Declutter & Donate

Let’s make space—physically and emotionally. If your home’s been feeling a little heavy lately, try a gentle decluttering session. Choose one drawer, one shelf, or one corner and ask, does this still bring me joy? If the answer is no, it’s time to lovingly let it go.

Donate clothes you haven’t worn, books you’ve already read, or things you’ve simply outgrown. Creating a lighter space around you often invites a lighter feeling within you, too. It’s not just tidying—it’s letting go of what no longer serves you so you can make room for all the good things ahead.

This month, let joy be your compass. Whether you’re scribbling down your joy list, picking up a paintbrush, or creating breathing room in your space, each step is a beautiful reminder that happiness isn’t something we find—it’s something we choose, moment by moment.
