Idea sketches for life journaling

I recently wrote about How do you document your life and questioned how I can improve journaling experience in terms of easy tracking personal growth over time. It can be a log of success, a log of failure, a log of changes in thinking or preference throughout time. Now I’m going to play with this idea on my Kickstarter project.

Here are initial idea sketches for the projects. I’d really grateful if you give me any feedback about these ideas.

Annual report about me

This is a note pad which consist of questions for yearly review. Writers can recap their memory in that year via questions and easily follow their history over time. Special thanks to Camille Fournier for question inspiration.

60/100 Years letter

It’s form of letter but not just a letter. Actually, it is time capsule. Each letter is representative of each ages. The letter consists of 5 cards which have special theme such as accomplishment or failure, etc. (I need various ideas about these theme) Writers can leave their thought on each card and collect it to a transparent box. Over time, writers can pull up past memory with joy.

Happy moment frame

It’s a frame which collects happy moments. Writers can write down the story whenever they are happy on a paper and put it into the transparent frame. This frame will encourage users keep thinking about happy moment and writing it down.

Memory box

This memory box consists of 365 days cards. Writers can leave the comment every day for 5 years or 10 years. This compact box can be a keepsake of personal history.

Journal for “FAVORITES”

This journal is filled out personal “favorites”. “Favorites” can be from very trivial to important. By keeping this journal and writing on it, users can think deeply what they like and who they are. Also, it provides fun experience: track their past preference and see how they are changed.
