Dream it It all begins with a dream. You want to gather all your photos, videos, and stories in one place and be able to show them anytime, anywhere, to anyone. This is the way to tell the story of your life in a Digital Memoir with Google Sites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1592961692215-1XIS45KET113L5I86EA6/Start+Fresh+with+a+new+Google+Account Online Course - 2. Fresh Start Clear your mind. I suggest to start fresh with a new Google account. Google accounts are free. A Google account includes: Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sites, a Youtube Channel and more. Whether you have 1 Google account or 10, you will need a new one for this important Digital Memoirs project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1592962085579-2VQPPDEGEOU91DSI0QIY/Create+a+Treasury+Google+Site Online Course - 3. Treasury Site You will start by creating what I call a “Treasury” Google Site. This means it will be the one main website where all your other sites connect to. Since I have so many photos and videos, I make a different Google Site for each year, then I connect all my years up to my Treasury Site. You can create many Google Sites just like you make many Google Docs. Your Treasury Site will be your main website so you only have to give one link to your loved ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1592962416537-Q62E0I0QWL1MYGG79L52/Best+organization+scheme Online Course - 4. Organization Organization is the key to the whole process. I will help you figure out the best organization scheme and what not to waste your time on. Organization can be tedious, but there are ways to make it more enjoyable. Something I learned from Marie Kondo is to focus on what Sparks Joy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1592962650871-NGJLH1B4E24YF5OX6YFW/Digital+media+storage Online Course - 5. Storage You will want to make sure you are choosing the right kind of storage to keep your digital media safe and accessible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1592963013537-B5W1B0P523DL743T8V79/Convert+old+media Online Course - 6. Old Media If you have physical photos or video tapes, I will discuss how to convert all those into digital formats. It is easier than you think! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1592963145253-EWAT6QZJC06FH2YHI79N/video+editing Online Course - 7. Video Editing This is my favorite part of the journey because you get to re-live all those wonderful video moments! Video editing can be easy if all you do is cut down long videos and put together short ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1592963240264-6X1G8IV1VYKEBNFA2WGJ/Create+a+YouTube+channel Online Course - 8. YouTube After you edit your videos, you upload them to your YouTube channel. When you set them to “unlisted,” only the people you want will be able to see them. So really, you are only using YouTube as a place to store your videos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1592963367630-T2DOLBR0NTZF7FNF43U7/Stories+of+your+life Online Course - 9. Story Writing After you have gone through all your photos and videos, you are ready to write the stories of your life. This is a chance for you to look back and reconsider how you felt about yourself and maybe even rewrite the narrative to suit your current frame of mind. This can be surprisingly healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1593299226706-1S2R17ZCEJOJXU5VDBNJ/Digital+Memoirs+with+Google+Sites.png Online Course - 10. Putting it All Together By creating your Digital Memoirs with Google Sites, you will become the memoirian of your family (like the librarian only with memories ;) and everyone will rely on you for all their memories. This has been the most rewarding work I have ever done in my life!

This is the ultimate act of self-care! Most people pick away at their things focusing on what they want to get rid of. The KonMari Method® focuses on what you want to keep and what SPARKS JOY® It is a different way of thinking that most of us are not used to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/1619378611405-F6IU9PN817SP2MSBPV5A/Screen+Shot+2021-04-25+at+2.23.08+PM.png Home - Digital Memoirs The last category in the Marie Kondo KonMari Method® is sentimental items.

It does take a lot of work, but it is joyful work! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/d11baa02-1a11-4eda-9f95-c3a595cb3f26/Marie+Kondo+3.png Tidying Festival - 2. Imagine your ideal lifestyle Completing a Tidying Festival will begin a magical turning point in your life. Therefore, it is very important to imagine your ideal lifestyle. The stronger your vision, the easier it will be to make decisions and transform your life.

Finish discarding first Most organizational methods focus on discarding. The KonMari Method focuses on what you want to keep! Once you identify what Sparks Joy for you, it is key to let go of the rest with gratitude. These items once served a purpose in your life and if you are grateful for that purpose you can more easily let them go and move forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/82efa237-2605-4918-878c-3df25d903fc6/markus-winkler-1lmPFQ7ZXeM-unsplash.jpg Tidying Festival - 4. Tidy by category not location You will practice imagining your ideal lifestyle for each category. For example, how do you want to look and feel in your clothing? It is important to gather all your clothing from around the house and tidy them all in one go. Therefore, you will have the feeling of completion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef25eb84efbd020ba4f66fd/0d74b4bf-666d-4fee-8d99-94a7b7fc1f0b/KonMari+Order.jpeg Tidying Festival - 5. Follow the right order Following the right order will help keep you focused so you can finish the task and not get overwhelmed. Ideally you should tidy from easiest to hardest. That way you will be able to hone your Joy Sparking muscles along the way. The KonMari Method® has been proven to work! "Reprinted from SPARK JOY Copyright © 2015 by Marie Kondo.
