It’s the last day of June and the year is halfway over now. Crazy, right? The end of the month means it’s a great time to do a recap of what has happened during that time before you forget. Don’t think you will forget? Trust me, you will! Take a few minutes and use these prompts to help you document your memories.

Here it is in written list form in case you would rather copy and paste this for your own use.

Take time to document the month of June and fill in the following:

• Holidays, celebrations, special occasions,

• What you watched - shows, movies, plays, performances, etc.

• What you listened to - music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.

• Books you read and things you learned

• News - personal, local, national, international

• Other ideas - weather events, favorite finds, foods you ate, memes & humor

You can do daily, weekly, or monthly recaps - it’s totally up to you. I like to make sure I don’t go any longer than a month without recording these details or it just gets too hard to remember. I’ve been doing monthly roundups each month since January of 2006. It’s my most useful memory-keeping tool!

And here’s a fun little GIF-ready template to use for Instagram stories if you want to play along. I’ll be sharing mine in my Instagram stories today and will also save it to my highlights. If you need tips for how to use this template, check out this previous post.
