This concept of documenting what’s going on, I feel, will help me to actually DO things with a purpose in my free time. When I don’t have anything to do, oftentimes I find myself just listening to music or reading, which though very fun and interesting, doesn’t have to be the only things I do. I really want to learn and try new things, but more often than not the appeal of just staying in bed all day is a lot stronger than any motivation I may have. By documenting not just my experiences, but friends and family as well, I’ll be forced to actually talk to people and communicate with those outside of my 6-person nuclear family rather than going radio silent for 3 months. I think that for me, this project and idea will help me to reach my goals of trying new things and being more proactive in how I spend my free time as well as making sure I’m keeping in touch with everyone else. To start implementing my scrapbooking process, I want to start by carrying around a camera or my phone with me and taking pictures of the things I do so that I can have firsthand footage rather than trying to find some later. I also want to start maybe jotting down notes about what’s going on so I can add more opinions, comments, or thoughts I or other people are having at the time. Another thing I want to try to do is transition to actual paper and photographs rather than doing it online. I don’t know if that’s actually gonna happen since I’m not sure we have the supplies in the house, but I can try! I want to try to add a new (and unique) page every day, this way every day, I have to do something new or different.
