Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I heard this idea of creating an “album of now”.  Let me explain.  The concept is simple.  You go around for a week or so, gathering photos of everyday things, the most boring ordinary things, from what is in your fridge, to the way your kids’ bedroom looks, to the grocery store, your car and the street.  Literally taking a photo of everything the way it is RIGHT NOW.  

 

So many of us forget the little things and at the same time, we wonder what it was like for our parents, or even our 18-year-old self.  Can you imagine how fun it would be to look at your “album of now” from when you were 18 years old?  Right?  So fun.   

 

So this idea is doing this for your future self.  My daughter had to interview someone older, she picked our neighbor who is 70-years-old and the premise was:  what was it like when you were 13.  My sweet neighbor was like, I will never remember that … but of course, the questions were softballs and they both got through it.  

 

This got me thinking, what if we had an album of now.  How cool would that be? So whether you print it or save an album in your iPhone, consider creating an album of now, for your future self.  

 

So, what are some things we could take photos of?  Help us out.  Send us a DM @everydayhappinesswithkatie.

 

Until next time.
