Project Life: Notebook

So being a person with type A tendencies I cataloged all of my page protectors into my PL notebook. why? Last year I hung them on a ring and whenever I wanted to switch it up I flipped through a ring and they got worn and torn. Then I put them in the back of my PL album and that didn't work because I spent too much time thumbing through. So this year I am going to try something different by quick sketching them into my notebook. By putting them in my notebook I could quick reference before I planned my layouts. Here's a pic:


 

The next section of my notebook I found a year at a glance calendar on the internet. 

Cut it down and the Highlighted my weeks. I am doing Monday to Sunday again this year. 


Plastered into my Notebook using washi.


Then on the back I created a spreadsheet in Excel and printed and Plastered it with washi.


I hope these tips help you keep your PL organized! Any questions, please leave a comment. Thanks!

  2. I'm new to this project life thing and I'm thinking about starting fresh with the new year but I'm not sure how. I want to start with the best possible ideas and I was just wondering what the purpose of the spreadsheet is? Is it like a weekly checklist? Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!

    1. I created the spreadsheet to help plan out my photos and dates of the weeks. I got behind last year and the time spent trying to figure out which dated photo goes to what week was eating into my working on PL time.
