Episode notes
Simplify Project Life With Story-Based Pages
- Try a simpler Project Life approach by documenting stories instead of forcing a weekly spread.
- Skip weeks when nothing stands out and focus on one or two meaningful stories per month.

- That change produced many pages but shifted her printing to quarterly 'library' books instead of annual volumes.

- Establish a repeatable process for Project Life: pick photos, use the same templates, and keep a journaling formula.
- Use those rails to remove decision fatigue and maintain a weekly habit.
