7 ways to simplify your journalling for your Christmas projects

1. Oh Life

You can use this daily or weekly email reminder service  and receive regular emails. You simply reply each day with a photo if you like, and OhLife keeps your entries securely online. The great thing is you can always go back and reply to the emails for past days and the entries slot into their place.

2. Blog

If you already blog, when not post your journalling for December Daily there?

3. Email yourself

Check out Simple Scrapper's great article that shows how you can use email to keep your journalling together, I suggest emailing yourself with the subject line December Daily or similar.

4. Memory Logbook/Diary

You can use a diary to record tidbits throughout the day, or just refer back to your appointment schedule for reminders of the day's happenings.

I have used the Memory Logbook from Log your Memory for 2 years now and I love it. It's a diary designed for memory keepers.

5. Sticky note on the physical page

For those of you who like to avoid errors or prefer printed journalling, pop a sticky pad in your purse, on the kitchen bench and then pop them onto your foundation pages.

6. Write straight onto the page

This system is simple and effective, if you have your December Daily project on hand. I would definitely go this way if I wasn't a digi-scrapper. Just so simple!

7. Memento app

You can also use your iPhone or iPad with the Memento App. It gathers your feeds from Facebook and Twitter into one place automatically and it can gather your pictures too. You can even backup and restore your "moments".

Here's some more from Memento:
