Weekly project life question

Like lasteve1 said, the current trend in PL has moved away from week numbering. Loads of people are doing it by month now, some even by season. It feels more natural, less rigid and allows for flexibility for those times when you have more (or fewer) photos.

Welcome back to PL, jediannie ! Hope you have loads of fun documenting your everyday memories in one place again.

Just last night I started working on embellishing, labeling and journaling my July PL. (Or I should say pocket pages. I use Becky Higgins page protectors and I love them but that is the only PL brand item I use.) I also do monthly. During the month I do a quick sketch of where I want my photos and pocket items, and at the end of the month I order the sizes I want. (Persnickety). I like staying caught up by the month, so that I am done by the next order. Well, I better get going with July! This month is just slipping away, which is weird because I have nothing but gobs and gobs of time. But as summer slips away I have been spending a lot of time outdoors.

PL just works for me. I did layouts in May to join in the team fun here and I hope to do it again soon, but I prefer PL. It's not very shareable here - nothing special, can look like a photo album with some captions at times. That's what I like about PL. In a crafty mood? Embellish away! Not in a mood? Capture those precious everyday memories.

I do my weeks M-Sun, but like others have said, it’s fluid and flexible, and I don’t number the weeks anymore. Enjoy getting back into it!

I still do weekly and I just do Mon-Sunday it made sense to me to keep the weekends together. I usually keep it to a to a 2 page spread but sometimes I add a 6x12 insert if I need some extra space, like when my dd graduated. But in all my years of doing PL like this (2010,2012,2013-2018,2020) I've only added 4 of those extras. I keep it to weekly highlights.

I don’t do ‘weeks’ at all in my PL I also do months and by event.

I keep my memory planner by weeks though and that I do Mon-Sun because I like the extra space at the weekend incase there is an additional picture I want.

I'm in the minority but I do Sunday-Saturday. No idea why I started that way exactly back in 2013 but that's what makes sense to me. It's also how I keep track/plan my fasting days & workout days but I started fasting in 2018, so it was probably my PL schedule that dictated that. I've also stopped adding in week numbers for the most part. I love the idea of being more flexible with the dates as needed. Whatever week has the 1st of the month does get a Monthly card for the new month but otherwise I just roll with it. I add inserts and full page layouts when I want like around trips, events, or when something momentous happens. I also include my OLW pages in my PL album. On the rare occasions I do an art journal page, I'll slip that in a page protector in the album too. I like to keep everything together and roll with whatever I feel like working on. I think that's part of why I've stuck with the project so long.

I do have huge gaps in some of my past albums. I had planned on going back and filling those in. A lot of that is now pictures with my ex so I'm not sure if I really will ever go back. Maybe some day. I've also kicked around doing more of a monthly type overview for those missing weeks and include him as little as possible. I figure it's my album and I can do what I want. For now, I'm focusing on getting caught up for 2020. I'm mid-June on PL and need to do July & August for OLW.

I start on Mondays, because I like the weekends to stay together, too. But I've also always considered Monday to be the first day of the week, from a logistical sense, since in theatre that's usually our "dark" day and it starts the week anew in that sense.

ETA: I also like that I can start working on my pages on Sunday afternoon/evening, which works well for my schedule.
