It's about time I get the ball rolling on my album prep and the prompts that I may want to highlight throughout the month. My goal is to have a photo taken about the subject matter on the appropriate day (I'm picky like that) so the prompts will be necessary to keep me thinking about what I can record on a particular day. That's where you all come in!! I am a very 'big picture' person and often miss the little details. I can see them in reflection a bit easier than I can in the moment and I can't rewind to take a picture (and I don't want to force it on another day...I want this project to be authentic). I also tend to get overwhelmed with a blank canvas, so the more focused on a specific number of things, the more likely I am to not feel overwhelmed by indecision/too much choice. To me, too much choice is just as bad as no choice at all...I need help to focus. For instance, "tell me about yourself" would probably result in me looking like a deer in headlights, but a questionnaire asking about specific details I can do. This is probably why I do well with PL and use sketches for almost all 12x12 pages I do.
What are some things that you would document if you were making this album? Who knows, your suggestion(s) might not work for me exactly, but they might spark an idea of something I wouldn't think of on my own. Any help is appreciated. Someone in a group just suggested the 5 senses and immediately got an item on my list (the smell of cinnamon is very nostalgic for me and brings me back to childhood whenever I walk past it in a store).
