And Lists Were Made....


It's been one whole week of list-making with the 30 Days of Lists project! YAY! I have to admit that I was expecting list prompts closer to the kinds of lists I make (my latest being "Ways to Access the Secret Room In My Someday Mansion"), but these lists are different. And by different, I mean awesome! They are simple positive prompts that are make me think about me as a person, focus on the moment and appreciate my world. It's like list-making therapy! 

Day 1 - A Few Things About Myself

Day 2 - Things I'm Good At

Day 3 - Things I'm Looking Forward To

Day 4 - Todays Playlist

Day 5 - Weekend Goals

Day 6 - My Least Favorite Words

Day 7 - Blog Goals!




I'm excited to work through the next week of prompts and really hope that this project becomes a yearly thing!

30 Days of Lists Starts Today!

Last night I came home and was prepared to make myself a journal for this project, but was so inspired I made TWO! One for me and another for a friend and co-worker. When I told her about the project she said "Wow, I would really like to do something like that!" So, now she is!


* edit*

I posted about finding the 30 Days of Lists project here and you can find the project details at the 30 Days of Lists Website. There is also a flickr group so you can see not only my lovely pictures and lists, but a whole slew of other participants as well!!

I used a two pack of moleskine journals and some of my scrap booking stash. 

Mine is this pretty grey journal. 

I used a punch to create about 10 tabs and spaced them out in the journal. 

The paper pack came with some super cute punch outs!

The gift journal is a simple black. 

On both journals I cut pretty paper to size and adhered them to blank pages in the journal. 

In this journal I inserted actual journaling pages from my stash for a little something extra. 

The first list prompt was "A few things about yourself" At first I was a little dumbfounded, but once I got started it was good to see that I am not just one thing. I may not even make sense in the things that I am, constantly contradicting myself the way I do. More importantly, I was reminded that I am all of these things to so many people. My friends and family that I love so much all look to me for something different and they all love me just as much. *sigh* Life is good today.

Compulsive List Maker

Once I even made a list of things I've made lists about! The highlights include:


Ways NOT to die
Things I am Terrified Will Grow in My Fridge
Things that Make Me Gag in Horror Movies
Places NOT to Vomit
Plastic Surgeries I Will Consent To
Plastic Surgeries I Will NOT Consent To
Places to Visit
Places to Never Visit
Food I Just Flat Out can't Eat
Colors That Should Never Be on a Car
Bad Movies I Love
What I want to be When I Grow Up
Places I Will Not Be able to Pee




I also have a list of blogs to read on a regular basis. One of those blogs recently posted something on a project called 30 Days of Lists. I investigated and realized it was perfect for me!




It's a month long project for March where the end goal is to get yourself writing and journaling for just a few minutes every day. I don't think I need the practice as much as I need a valid reason to write the list "Things you never want to hear your hairstylist say". 


I'll be sure to keep y'all updated on my new lists!!
