Prompts


|    idealog    home

Decorate a box or other container and fill it with text strips from magazines, junk mail, handwritten letters or notes, books, etc.

You could:

  • cut or rip the text snippets, or a mix of both.
  • pick one at random when you need a bit of inspiration or a prompt.
  • you could even put together a collection and gift it to a loved one.


To gamify it a little, you could:

  • Come up with 26 prompts that you need to respond to with things about yourself: age, best day ever, cravings, etc. Whatever you like. This was a very popular thing to do in the early heyday of the online journal/blogging universe.
  • You could illustrate each, or just a few after you're done your list, or as part of making it.
  • You could even create a collage inspired by each that could include images from the actual experience.
  • You could adapt the idea to create a memory book to gift to a loved one.
