This workbook and planner is designed to be used continually throughout the year, but it is never too late to begin the Start Fresh

process and discover more clarity about your memory keeping hobby.Consider how you will keep the pages visible in your everyday life so

that you reference and update them often. You will get out of these tools what you put into them. Don’t be afraid to get it messy.

R E M I N D E R



The Start Fresh workbook has been designed to offer a kick start for your year, no matter when you complete it. The complementary planner then picks up where the workbook leaves off, assisting with implementation.

This workbook has three parts. While you can complete them in one day, we recommend exploring the material over three sessions. This approach

allows the ideas to further develop in your mind and in your heart.

The first part of the Start Fresh workbook invites you to reflect on lessons learned, ponder growth opportunities, and state your wishes and dreams. As you complete each page or prompt, trust your instincts and try not to

worry about being perfect. You can always fill in more details later.

5. What part of scrapbooking nurtures you and fills you up the most?



The second part of the Start Fresh workbook invites you to shift from mental list-making to tangible. By emptying your brain of ideas and tasks, you can begin to make sense of it all and truly start fresh. The prompts will ask you to be very specific about your memory keeping

activities so that you may create a ranked inventory.

The “Nothing is Set in Stone” Reali ty Check

1. If you were to start scrapbooking today with no supplies and no completed albums, but knowing everything you do now, what approaches or formats would you use more of? Less of?

2. How does your answer above impact the projects you want to start, finish, or make progress on in 2015?



I E I EU N F I N I S H E D P R O J E C T S

Project InventoryUse the sections below to list every possible project you could complete this year, given unlimited time. Make sure to consider more open-ended activities like layouts as specific album projects. Then, browse each list and consider which projects are important to you (check the I column) and which you feel highly enthusiastic about completing (check the E column). Highlight projects that have both I and E checked.

Project RankingNow you will begin to make decisions about which projects will receive your attention in 2015 and where you may need to let go. This exercise will help you understand how few projects can be “must-do”. Starting with the projects that are both important to you and which you are enthusiastic about, choose a category below and add the listing. Then add the important-only and enthusiastic-only projects from your previous exercise as well.



The third part of the Start Fresh workbook will ask you to bring together your big ideas with all the smaller tasks that also take time. Then, you are invited to venture into the Seasons section of the planner as you complete

a list of priorities for the current season. (Note: The instructions for the Seasons section provide further explanation.)

Every three months is just the right interval for evaluating your personal priorities. The Seasons section of the planner invites you to conduct a quarterly check-in where you will a.) establish a list of ten

priorities for this season and b.) forecast potential priority shifts in the coming year. This seasonal approach supports flexibility as much as it does accountability. Your current priorities can then be translated into

month-by-month goals in the Months section.

Planning is a very personal thing. That’s why the Monthly section of the planner includes four pages that can be customized for your needs. They have been designed with scrapbookers in mind, but are flexible enough

for everyday use. With a grid-based and a line-by-line calendar, you have multiple options for planning appointments and recording memories.

Specific tasks can then be monitored with the week-by-week calendar or the monthly accountability tracker. Also, don’t forget to set monthly goals based on your seasonal priorities and record each victory as it happens!
