I had always wanted to document my day (or week)-in-a-life scrapbook style. I agree that it'd be great to look back years from now and see how my current day was. But the idea of starting it from the moment I wake up to the moment I sleep overwhelms me. It feels like a huge paper project so I never got to start it.
I thought of making a simpler version of it by having a running list of everyday activities & stuff photos that I wish to take instead. I thought of making a checklist because a checklist makes the project "bite-sized", by completing one item at a time.
Without further ado, here are the items written on my checklist:
-
a part of my morning routine
-
my usual breakfast
-
my stacked journals
-
my favorite toiletries
-
clothes, stuff or activity for child's school preps
