Week in the Life SetUp & Prep 2026 - Album, Pages & Simple Systems

The secret to enjoying Week in the Life isn’t doing more - it’s deciding less. In this video, I’m walking through how I prep for Week in the Life before it starts. Including: choosing my album, deciding on printables, setting up repeatable pocket page structures, creating templates in Canva, and organizing ephemera and notes by day. This setup helps me document a full week without overwhelm - whether I’m keeping up daily or catching up later. If you’re looking for a calm, sustainable approach to Week in the Life that you can reuse year after year, this video is for you.
