Gina Trapani asks: What’s the best thing that’s going to happen to you tomorrow?
Daily | October 22nd, 2008
She doesn’t have a crystal ball, but if anyone can teach you how to clear your plate so you can make way for the best, it’s Gina Trapani. She’s the founder of one of the most successful weblogs of all time, Lifehacker.com, and the author of Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Better. Maybe you can actually plan for greatness…
Carrie says: To wake up in the morning next to my husband knowing all is possible by living true to myself.
Danielle says: Ooo! I know! Thursdays I write from home. I relish my music blasting, a candle burning by my orchids, a pot of Yogi Tea (Lemon Ginger) and the space to just crank from the heart. And then, I’ll take my kid to his circus class and almost weep from the cuteness factor. And who knows, maybe a magical phone call or breakthrough idea could nearly top all that best-ness.
Gina says: I’m going to wake up next to someone I love dearly. Doesn’t get much better than that.

New magazines come out! Haha I also get to see a comedy show for charity and it's one day closer to when the person I love the most comes to see me!
October 22nd, 2008 at 4:37 am
I will look out my window and see something new.
October 22nd, 2008 at 4:56 am
Wow…..I just want to get through today!
October 22nd, 2008 at 5:55 am
It's fall in New England. Every day is a good day.
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:12 am
The beginning of a new day! There is so much you can accomplish in a single 24 hour period. I love the feeling I get from a new start with every day.
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:15 am
Agreed – I live in New England as well, and nothing beats the fall leaves and crisp, sunny days.
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:26 am
I'm going to watch the scale go down at weight watchers tomorrow! and then I get to eat pizza and ice cream.
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:53 am
tomorrow I am going on a date with my sweetie to an “evening of inspiration” featuring people with autism performing in a variety show. It's a part of a big symposium on autism, and it is supposed to be very, well, inspiring! I think it will be great to have my hunny with me for this, too.
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:05 am
I will wake up next to my sweetheart, see four (or maybe more!) clients, and go to bed next to my sweetheart.
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:07 am
Ah, my husband Xavier will be returning from his business trip tomorrow, just in time for us to put the kiddos to bed together. Then sleep in the same together ourselves!
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:07 am
Oh! I almost forgot the BEST! It's October, my favorite month!
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:19 am
Starting tomorrow a change is taking place in my life. That change is the beginning of some long awaited peace in my life. I know I will literally drive away in euphoria.
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:20 am
Hey there! How are you?
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:27 am
I'm going to physical therapy today and I will wake up tomorrow and be in alignment and will love the difference small, deliberate tweaks make when done in line with my “put the body in the best position to heal itself” philosophy.
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:33 am
my soul sister from NY is flying out to spend time with me!!! I'm the luckiest girl in the world!
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:34 am
wow. Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aide! Good luck!
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:25 am
I'm going to wake up! I'm going to learn Spanish! I'm going to Abnormal Psych class to learn how to help clients with mental disorders! I may go to a movie premiere for Rock & Rolla!
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:04 am
I will have the honor of being in service to my dearest friend who has a massive brain injury. I will be traveling to her and doing all I can while there. How fortunate I am to be able to make a difference in her life.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:09 am
An opportunity…one that I don't want to limit by guessing what it is!
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:39 am
Spending the day with my husband, daughter and two cats. A few calls with friends who live far away and dancing with my baby.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:42 am
What a great day to ask this question! Tomorrow, I WON'T wake up beside my best friend in the whole world, as I usually do, because he'll be on a plane coming back from a business trip to Newfoundland.
BUT when he gets here mid-morning, he's taking a day of vacation time and squiring me into Halifax to visit the Business to Business Expo, and then to New Minas to look at some VERY expensive furniture that I think I'd like to have in the future.
We'll be together THE WHOLE DAY. These times always remind me of our honeymoon.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:52 am
It's going to be one day closer to the weekend!
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:00 am
I am going to worship life. =)
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:00 am
A trip to my chiropractor and one day further away from my break up of an 8 year relationship…so hopefully one step closer to healing and figuring out what I want out of life. I spent 8 years with a self-centered egotistical man and got swept up in the “fun”.
Have known for a LONG time that is wasn't working for me but was hard to give up all the benefits that came with the relationship. All it took was discovering he was emailing and talking to another woman in another part of the state and planning to go dancing and who knows what with her this coming weekend. We've been through this all before…I've had a feeling he wasn't “that into me” and I've tried many times to let him get out easy and he would always say “no, I want to be with you!” No, I think what he really wanted was someone to have around until he cements a deal with someone else. I'm going to be fine. He was never good with my kids (really had nothing to do with them and believe me, I hate myself for getting involved in the first place because of that) so now I can focus on my two teens and try to be a good Mother. anyway, enough. Tomorrow will be a better day. sorry for rambling on. I really need to start a journal….
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:41 am
The single best thing will be my physical training. However, I also love waking up in my peaceful home and having breakfast with my family.
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:07 am
Tomorrow, I am getting a bikini wax – it's great, because I fly to Cuba on Friday!!!
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:11 am
Getting hugs and kisses from my two wonderful children.
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:11 pm
We will sell our apartment!
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
What a perfect day to ask this question….I will leave with the ones I love the most (except for one who's not coming) for a wonderful vacation sailing around the BVIs! I can hardly stand it I'm so excited. We all need the R&R.
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I am going to tumble and cuddle with my boys – ages 3 and 1.
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I have no idea what to write in answer to that question. I guess breathing counts big time. Those of you who write out your hearts on these pages, whether it's being succinct or saying more than you intended.. make me smile, make me cry, make me jealous or envious, sometimes make me feel a little lost but always inspire me in some way. Thanks for this C&D
October 22nd, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I wholeheartedly have the same response! Thank you to you Linda, for expressing it so beautifully. xo
October 22nd, 2008 at 1:04 pm
It's the first night of my new Make & Take sessions. Women, wine and making cool art projects together. I am very excited about this new little job niche doing something I adore and connecting with friends at the same time. I'll post some of the projects for all to see.

October 22nd, 2008 at 1:20 pm
I'll get to go to a job I love, with solid colleagues, doing good work that I can beleive in. So lucky am I!
October 22nd, 2008 at 1:45 pm
… and thank you for that, JoJo!!
October 22nd, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Indeed..!
October 22nd, 2008 at 1:53 pm
That sounds wonderful! I wish I could join : )
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:04 pm
May I pretend that this question was asked yesterday? Today I took my first ever art lesson. And I painted a pear. And it even looked like a pear. And it even looked like a pretty good pear. Who knew?
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Tomorrow I am gonna finish the editing of this PhD chapter I am writing. This one in particular is about horror and comic books. At the moment I am clutching at writing straws regarding parallelisms between Batman's Joker and The Name of the Rose's Jorge but I am totally, utterly, deeply sure that after a good night's sleep I will fly through it. Now… where's the affirmations notebook…
Goodnight pals, me in the UK!
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:11 pm
I'm a believer in serendipity, so I can't imagine what my best thing might be. I've spent years reaching and grasping after the wrong things…so I'm training myself to walk into the day with open hands. If I'm paying attention, I see that a bit of grace falls into my life every day.
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I'm going to a party thrown by a theatre company — I'll get to hang out with creative people, see some old friends and listen to some great music! Lovin' life…!
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Congratulations.
) I'm proud of you and your pretty good pear. I hope when I finally take my own art class, I discover I have talent too.
Keep it up!
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Just think of all the blessings that may come your way tomorrow. Starting with the sunrise ending with the sunset and all the treasures delivered and discovered in between.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:27 pm
I'm going to a book fair! An amazingly huge book fair! And I'm gonna get me some books!
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Hmmm…. I'm open to all sorts of wonders, gifts, inspirations, and adventures I can't possibly imagine, so 'best' is hard. I know that spending time with my beloved partner and dogs will rank very highly, though.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I'm getting a fitting of my top secret Halloween costume. I can't wait to see how it has turned out.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I'm going to support a friend at a meaningful event. I'm going to catch up with a friend whom I've been out of touch with. I'm going to fulfill one of my dreams!
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
The best thing that will happen to me tomorrow is that I will wake to another day in this life. My mantra is that every day is a good day, it's just a question of how good of a day it is going to be. Merely waking and being alive makes it good and everything else is icing on the cake.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:51 am
It's today- women dancing at my home tonight to old Rock N Roll. The feminine magic called in by candlelight and fresh flowers all around. Homemade cake and a group phone call to faraway friends.
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Tomorrow is Friday. Fridays use to be so special as they represented the end of my “work” week. Now that I'm retired every day is Friday. Hey, just waking up is nice!
October 23rd, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Tomorrow is going to be another AMAZING day! I will wake up with a text message or phone call from my fabulous boyfriend of 4 months. He's going to tell me I'm amazing and that he's so happy to be with me. It's casual day at work so I'll don a favorite pair of jeans and fun new ballet flats and will drive to work where I'll have a productive day. My boyfriend and I will plan another fun weekend together and I'll make time in the afternoon to journal and read as the sun sets in the western skies. I'll lay my head on my pillow knowing I had a great day and was loving and giving to those around me. The more you give the more you get and I'm receiving SO MUCH!
January 21st, 2009 at 4:08 am
Good luck with the Spanis learning, I have the same goal : )
March 14th, 2009 at 10:42 am
I hope when looking myself in the mirror, more beautiful then.
March 27th, 2009 at 6:39 am
I feel for you… But cheer up, there's more to life. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger right?
