Reel by Sophie Fraro | Creativity & Lifestyle
here’s your list ↓ 📷 the photo a day project take 1 photo every single day of 2026, but DONT worry about the aesthetics, just make it real! your desk, your coffee, your friend, your walk, your view. you’ll regret not starting when you realise you have no visual proof of all the tiny, beautiful nothing-moments that actually made your year. 📹 the 1 second of video project record a 1-second clip every day and stitch them together on december 31st. you’ll watch it back and see your whole year flash before you in 6 minutes and want to hug january-you for starting. ✍🏼 the 1 line a day diary every night, write exactly one sentence about your day. that’s it. “had a breakdown in the supermarket lol” counts. “sunset on the way home was insane” counts. you’ll regret not having this when you realise you don’t remember the majority of your year in detail. 🔋 the first time this year list keep a running list in your notes called 2026 firsts. every time you do something for the first time (new city, new food, new person, new skill, new outfit you were scared to wear), add it. by the end of the year you’ll have a reminder of how much you actually did 💐 the proof folder make a folder on your phone or laptop called evidence – i’m actually doing it every day, drop one thing in: a workout selfie, a page of notes, a screenshot of paid invoice, a walk route, a meal you cooked, a text you were scared to send. on the days you feel like a failure, you’ll open it and see 365 receipts that you didn’t just talk about changing your life – you did. hey, if we haven’t met yet, I’m Sophie, full-time writer and mom-to-be! 💌 follow @sophiefraro as your antidote to brain rot 🌟
