Default A question for LPs

How do you all store your info/notes/journal stuff until you get time to scrap it?
A notebook? Planner? Something else?
I'm starting up PL in 2015 and need to find a way to keep everything handy for when I get the time to scrap it.

I use a phone app called Diaro which syncs with my computer. For longer entries, I sometimes just type a Word document. I store the week's notes in the folder with my pics and can just cut and paste onto my PL or regular LO. I used to have a million little post its and paper scraps, but this works better for me. No more fear of losing my notes

That looks really clever. Can't wait to see the 2015 version.

I have a paper planner plus apps on my phone. I also have just basic 8.5x11 page protectors in a binder labeled 1-53 with sharpie on them and if I find anything I need to stick in, I just slide it in there. Then when I go to work on a week, I open my planner, the binder, and my PL album out on my desk and just combine.

I use my paper planner and apps... Plus, I take a picture each day that really remind me of what was going on.

I have done it a couple of ways.

When I was doing a "paper" book, I kept a binder like Jen with one page protector/week and I would just throw the stuff in there til I was ready to use it.

Now that I am all digital of PL, I scan everything - tickets, kids' art work, miscellaneous schoolwork here & there, receipts or labels, restaurant business cards, etc. Just anything that could be fun to add "flavor" to the book or jog my memory. I save those files to the same monthly chronological folders I use for my photos. So, when I go to scrap the photos, all the other stuff is right there too.

For both approaches, I use just a regular annual calendar/planner things that I keep around to jot notes in. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I'll go back and fill in info from a week or month ago. It's better than nothing! I tried an app for this but I never remembered to use the app - it helps me to have the hard-copy planner sitting there on my desk to remind me.

I email myself daily with a moment, story or something from the day I want to remember and keep it in its own folder. Other than that, I am a mess!

I have a classic journal (= blank book) and am writing in it all day. Since I have a daily PL and put a lot of feelings and moods in there, I need a place where I can write these things down first hand. So I carry my journal with me everywhere and take notes whenever I feel like it.

I was using Oh Life, until I just got the email that they are closing. I liked it because it sent me an email everyday at 5PM and all I had to do was reply to it and it kept it in a diary form in chronological order!! Then when I went to scrap my week - all I did was go to the website and everything I needed was right there!!

Since it's closing thought I've bought myself a composition book and I'm going to try it that way. I also use Momento - it's an app - it pulls all my feeds from instagram, FB and my blog and stores them in one spot. I also rely on text that I send and receive and my photos too!!

My first stop is always my photos and I tell the stories associated with them.

Next I check my Google calendar to see what I did during the week. I also check my Instagram photos, Facebook posts, texts sent, and emails sent.
