The 52 Lists Project


I've always been a bit of a list addict.  I feel so much more peaceful and content with myself when I've got a few lists going, from what I need to do today to my favorite r&b songs from 2002.  I love lists!  So I thought it would be fun to start a series on my blog for 2013 that focuses on List making, lists for fun, lists for self discovery, lists to bring you peace, you name it.  And it's all about participation!  Each week on Tuesdays I'll have a new list prompt for you to download and each week, you are able to link up your own list that you have posted on the web to my post.  This way we can all explore each others' lists!  I encourage you to print out a page each week, or simply create your own each week, collect them through the year and then bind them together at the end of the year as a little memento of 2013.  Or perhaps start a new journal just for your 52 List project.  Let's go on this fun and inspiring list making journey together!

  1. I found your site through typepad then pulp sushi and now I landed here to see your 52 lists. Can't wait to start - I just printed off weeks 1 & 2. Is there a certain day of the week you will be posting these? Thanks for the inspiration!

  14. thank you for such an inspiring way to remind me to behold each day being mindful of myself and others. I was diagnosed with a incurable cancer three years ago. I am hopeful, with treatment, I have more years ahead of me. It is a struggle sometimes to see the forest for the trees but your proposal will go a long way to seeing those beautiful things that surround and touch me. Blessings to you.

    1. Oh thank you so much for sharing a little bit of your story with me. I honestly have so many deep fears of getting cancer in the future. And the sad facts are that so so so many will get some form of cancer in their lifetime. I admire you for being hopeful for your future. I think the human will is so much more powerful and stronger than the body. Even when our bodies are suffering and going through torment, we still have that power deep down inside of our spirits to be and do something greater than our what our bodies can contain.
      I'm praying for you my friend, for healing of the body, for peace and empowerment deep down in your soul. I know you have a platform to do GREAT things through sharing your story. <3 Thank you for leaving note on my blog.

  18. Trying to follow your twitter links on my phone is sometimes frustrating. Is there any way you can link without always sending us to Facebook? Can't even see the KI paper without logging in to Facebook, which seems counter to your goal of sharing cool stuff. It may be just a mobile issue and a minor thing, but it's frustrating all the same. I'm not trying to be critical, just thought you might not know it's creating extra steps to follow your links. Thanks!

  21. Thanks Moorea for starting this! I love your take on it, only one list a week, we can all do that! I was involved in 30days of lists in the past, and I loved it. so this right up my alley! Thanks for doing this for all of us.. I'm a little late to the game, but I printed all 5 lists today, so I plan on doing some catch up.. you can find me and my blog here http://bonitarose.com

  25. The documents are quite difficult to download. The 4share.com service is so riddled with advertising and fee-based offers that I just got frustrated and gave up. One link I found wanted me to download a file called "wk1.exe" which seems like it might be your document, but as a practice, I don't download executable files from unknown sources.

    Have you considered a different file sharing service that isn't so focused on everything except delivering the files? Maybe a Google Drive account where you could share the documents via a link?

  26. This is a great idea and I'm also a big list person. So, it's inspiring! I also dislike the download service--it's rather complicated and doesn't seem safe with popups, etc.
    I'm not really sure what is in the download files so maybe I don't need them? I think I'll just play along on my own...
    Thanks!

  31. Came here via Ali Edwards. What a FANTASTIC IDEA! LOVE, LOVE LOVE LISTS!
    I'm having a hard time downloading. Keeps opening windows for 4share, etc and offering to sell me a service for $9.95/month, etc. I, too, somehow, downloaded a wk1.exe, but my computer isn't recognizing it. So, think I might just follow along and hand-write my own headings. (Although, yours ARE LOVELY!)

As an avid journal writer and poet---a lover of words---and a severe depressive---I find this project a positive, potentially playful and possibly profound way in which to explore and express myself. I plan to keep up with each week's list in a special journal (so I can also collage in it). Thank you for what you offering people!

  36. Found you via an Etsy customer who linked me up! I've been working on gathering list ideas {49 of them since I turn 49 in March} and am so happy to have found you, Moorea, and your blog and this wonderful project. Perhaps now I won't pre-plan all my lists as I had thought and will take a peek at yours now and again for inspiration.

  37. This is a great project! Wanna share your list sheets? They are really pretty and would be great to make the lists into a keepsake project!

  38. Found you via the blog imperfecthomemaking.com. I was wondering if all the lists would be appropriate for a 12 year old girl. Wanted to check before I gave her a link to this project. She would love it though. Found a journal once at BAM which had list prompts. Almost bought it for her before I saw a couple inappropriate list prompts like "Most exciting places I've had sex".

  49. Hi Moorea,
    I just discovered 52 Lists today... via Ali Edwards. Although it's already March first, I'm SO inspired to begin today! I have a beautiful blank journal that I have been saving for the perfect inspiration. I'm enjoying a brand new chapter in my life... retirement, after 35 years of teaching. It will be wonderful to have a journal filled with 52 Lists to help me reflect back on this special time in my life!
    Heartfelt thanks!

  50. Today is my 39th birthday. I've been toying with the idea of how to mark the passing of my last thirty-something year. List-making is perfect! I will start with Week 1 today and follow through for the next 52 weeks until the big 4-0. Thank you for a great idea of a gift!!

  76. I found this pretty late myself, but since we can join at any time I figured why not now. I don't have a printer so I'm doing this on Microsoft Word. Is that acceptable? I could do it all by hand and take pictures of the lists and upload them that way if Word is unacceptable.

    Catching up on 15 lists. It'll be a great weekend. =) Mind if the quote one is a little long? I've been collecting quotes for years and could put together a book. Going through and choosing only my absolute favorites turned out to be quite a task! =D
