Day In The Life™ | Tuesday, May 12th

Elise asked me when I was going to do a Day In The Life™ again so we're doing it. 

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, May 12th. 

There's no cost to join in the fun. All you need is a willingness to document a single day in your life from the time you get up to the time you go to bed. Most people do it with a combination of words and photos and a few other fun products added to the mix. The photos that come from this project tend to be some of my favorites. I'm looking forward to doing it again. 

Here's a video we put together about Day In The Life™ last summer for the launch of my new site that might get you excited about documenting your own regular, ordinary everyday:

    I think I can do this one! I can handle the "Week in ..." but have never managed "Day in...".

    I'm going to be in Maui that day, but I think I'm still going to document it as my "day in the life." Would be fun to look back on and help remember the trip.

    I'm going to be driving for about 8 hours across outback Australia, so the day probably won't suit me! How many out of the window shots of the Hay Plain can you take? I will probably do the day before as I will be Interstate looking after my 2 year old grandson. I spent a week looking after him in October at the same time as WITL was running and it was really good to document his routine at 20 months, so that I can look back at how quickly things change in the life of a young child. Between last October and this May I'm sure I will see a huge change.

    I love that a simple request from a friend prompted you to set this year's date.
    I am considering joining the fun. Not sure; we'll see.

    I love this project (even though I've never actually done it). Haha! I'm really feeling the pull this year especially since I just shared it in a post about Why I Love Being a Memory Keeper. No pressure! Thanks for your continued inspiration =) www.mindfulmemorykeeping.com

    I have always thought it would be fun to do this but don't know how it would work for me. Any suggestions on how to participate when cameras are not allowed in the workplace?
