It’s the last day of May and that means it’s a great time to take a few minutes and document what life has been like in your world for the past few weeks. Roundups are my most useful memory keeping tool and I love this simple habit!

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

Take time to document May 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.
