Join In | A Day In The Life + Dates For 2012 Week In The Life

week in the life | bringing it together : the photos

Anyone want to join me in documenting a day in your life this week?

As I was sitting with Simon at breakfast this morning I was thinking that it's been awhile since I did a full day of documentation. I'm planning to do it this Wednesday, February 8th.

If you'd like to join in all you need to do is wake up on Wednesday (or any day this week) with a commitment to writing down and photographing the course of your day.

To simplify the process you can download my set of my printable Daily Sheets and use whichever day you plan to document.

You can blog about your day, create a layout, add it to your Project Life, etc. I'm thinking I might just include an extra page or two in Project Life.

I'll share my experience, and include a place for you to link to yours, later this week.

WEEK IN THE LIFE 2012


I also wanted to announce that I'll be doing the Week In The Life project again this year from April 23rd through April 29th.

You can take a look at past Week In The Life projects here. More details to come.

    Week In the Life added to April calendar - but I'll be starting the 22nd - Sunday-Saturday fits my brain better :). Also will do the Day in the Life this week - should be fun to play during an OSU-work-day! Have my Wed. sheet already printed & ready to go! Fun stuff Ali - thanks.

    I want to try...although it will definitely be difficult (being a teacher, and all). Here's hoping!

    I'd love to join you but we've just had a "major" blow to our usual schedule- not sure what I'd capture for sure. Until today we've worked 7-4 since probably 2003 or so- before that it was 4-10's at 7-6. We're now working 8-5 and it feels like total craziness to me- probably because I'm very much a morning and early to bed person and am now having to shift my entire day around so that I don't lose the hour. So, Wednesday won't be ordinary in that sense. But, the change in schedule will make A Week in the Life very different from the past years.

    I'm going to be trying WITL for the first time this year! I've been doing December Daily for 3 years and started Project Life this year; this is the first time that WITL seems doable.

    I can't wait to see what you and everyone else comes up with!

    Looking forward to Week in the Life. I still have yet to make an album, but I've taken the pictures the last 2 years. They say third time's a charm.

    Hi Ali, my 11 year daughter did WITL last December. It was a school project completely of their choice. It was a week of her last year of primary school (we are in Australia, so different to U.S. I think) She got permission and walked around the school with a camera around her neck. She used your templates each night. Neither of us had used PSE before. It was successful and she got the knack of it very quickly. Just thought I'd encourage people that using the templates made it easy for her and working with photoshop is not too difficult. :)

    I am in! I've been wanting to do the "week" for a few years, but never seemed to get it done. One day is a good start :)

    That's a great week to do week in the life as that's my birthday week!! I love the idea of documenting a day and adding it to PL. I need more daily routine photos. I think I just forget since it is things we do everyday!

    I was just thinking the other day that with doing Project Life this year, I might not want to do A Week in The Life again, but instead just do a detailed Day in the Life spread. And, here you are! :) Thank you!
