Fillerup and future


|    idealog    home

Filling up the last few pages of an old journal, or looking for ideas for a new one you might get this year?

Square

Do a square/circle collection where you use a shape punch to cut pieces from mail you receive, packaging of things you buy, flyers, envelopes, and other ephemera. You can do this digitally as well. You can see my digital one at lonita.net.

Packaging

Create poems or other collage from words and other things cut from packaging, flyers, magazines, or newspapers.

Colour

Create an entry for your paper journal or scrapbook that's nothing but images of things that are your favourite colour.

Time capsule

Create an entry about something you'd put in a time capsule. Talk about why you chose that item and wanted to include it.

Curriculum

Jump on the personal curriculum train, and put together some learning goals for yourself. Pick a topic, find the resources you want to include, grab that pen, and start reading.

Re-skill

Similarly, you could study up on a disappearing craft or skill, and write some instructions for it and project ideas for people.

Endings

Keep a list of the ways things end - conversations, work days, outings, chores, books, TV shows, etc.

Earworms

For next year, keep a list of all the earworms that earworm you. Make a playlist at the end of the year and share.
