At the start of the year, I shared my monthly themes for 2026 as a way to guide memory keeping, journaling, and creative projects throughout the year. I noticed last night after I sent out my newsletter (are you a subscriber?) that I had made a slight error. I had renewal as a theme for March, but realized I had grouped the theme of renewal in with growth for January. I like how that turned out, but I don’t want to be too repetitive, so I made an adjustment. Now, the theme for March will be Moments in Time. Why am I telling you this in February? If you like to plan ahead, I want you to have all the information.

I’ve updated the original post, but you may still see some images floating around the internet with the original themes. Sorry about that. Just proof that there is a human in charge here. lol!

As the end of the month gets closer (just a week left!), I always like to take a quick pause and do a little prep for my roundup. Nothing fancy. Just a few small steps that make the actual documenting feel easier and more enjoyable when the time comes.

If you have ever sat down to do a roundup and felt like your mind went blank, this post is for you. A little bit of noticing now can save you a lot of frustration later.
