May: Repeat, Repeat, Repeat

Hi, everyone! In 2024, we’ll periodically give away the prompts for our monthly Cafe Analog’s friendly journaling challenge #caprojectme24 to add a bit of freshness and spontaneity! 😀

With springtime and spring cleaning, it seems like May is a great month to start a new good habit. Walking for 10 minutes a day, drinking eight glasses of water per day, cleaning our desk immediately after journaling, eating one fruit every day… whatever new habit we want to develop, the idea is to repeat it until it becomes automatic—that you don’t even think about it or have to force yourself to do it anymore 🙂 Do you have a new good habit you want to develop this month?

Well, the design prompt for this month is: Repeat, Repeat, Repeat.

This month, create a page in your journal where you repeatedly use a certain stationery item! Maybe you use one stamp three times on a page, creating a pattern by repeating a certain design, one paper label design but have five of them lined up on your journal spread, or the same image from one PET tape or washi tape a few times on your page—maybe to make a list. The idea is to use an item repeatedly on your page! (of course, you can add other elements to your spread, but make sure you have something you use “on repeat”).

We’re curious to see your take on this challenge! 😀 How can you use something repeatedly but still making an interesting spread?

If you join this #caprojectme24 challenge, you can also share the story about which interactive element you have in your journal to inspire others! 🙂

These are some May writing prompts you can choose for the #caprojectme24 (you can choose one or work on all of them weekly):

1

Which habit do I want to develop this month, that I think will be beneficial for me in the long run? Why?

2

What are the top 3 things I can do every day, no matter how small, to feel a bit happier and more fulfilled?

3

Do I have a repeating theme in my life? A pattern that I can recognize? What is it? What are they?

4

List down 11 things I wouldn’t mind doing every single day for the rest of my life!

If you are doing this #caprojectme24 at the end of May, you can also write down a recap of your month, highlighting important events or life lessons you’ve experienced. Feel free to be creative and choose/translate/modify the prompts as you like!

You can also tag us with #caprojectme24 to share your page with our Cafe Analog community! Have fun, challenge yourself, let loose, and try expanding your comfort zone while you decorate and write in your journal pages!
