Checking in on 1000 Hours

One of our goals this year is be outside more than 1000 hours (and even exceed last years’ total). So it’s time to check in on this years progress so far.

Winter is by far the hardest time for us to get lots of hours outside. It’s dark, and cold and just not as easy and that’s ok! Last year we also clocked the least hours outside in January/February, I know that we will make up for it in the summer months.

If we split the time up evenly between all 12 months we would need 84 hours a month to get to 1000 hours outside. We only got to 53 hours in January and in 2021 we only hit about 43. The good news is we are focused on getting outside more and that is what matters.

I highly recommend the 1000 hours outside podcast to learn about the benefits and inspiration.

We did it!!! 1000 Hours Outside

One of our big goals for 2021 was to spend 1000 hours outside:

Some Family Goals For 2021

It felt a little daunting but so much research shows how important being outside is for kids (everyone really). We made it our mission to make it happen and loosely tracked our hours outside in a simple spreadsheet. Let me know if you want the template, I will be happy to share!

This is what our spreadsheet looked like for 2021. The times outside are in hours and always just an approximation. Our total could be much less or more but the idea was just to spend more time outside.

You can see from the spreadsheet that some days we spent 0 hours outside and others it was all day. Also you can see that our hours total were much more in the summer than in the winter. May had the most hours outside and January had the least.

We tried to get out no matter the weather but it is much easier in the summer when we can enjoy meals outside and enjoy the freedom of summer.

We logged approximately 1189 hours outside this year and I am very proud of us.

One of our goals for 2022 is to beat last year and be outside at least 1200 hours.
