28 Day Memory Calendar

The 28 Day Memory Calendar a simple, approachable way to begin preserving stories without pressure, equipment, or a big commitment. Just one meaningful question each day, answered in whatever way feels right.

Capturing memories doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In fact, it works best when it’s slow and intentional.

The 28 Day Memory Calendar offers:

• One thoughtful question per day

• A pace that feels manageable

• Space for reflection without rushing

You can answer the questions in writing, record a short video on your phone, or even have a loved one sit with you and ask the question out loud. There’s no right or wrong way to do it.  What matters is starting.

This calendar can be used in many ways:

• A parent or grandparent answering questions about their life

• A loved one working through the questions on their own

• Families asking one question a day together

• Caregivers using it as a conversation starter

• Anyone wanting to reflect, remember, and document their story

Some people choose to share their answers with family right away. Others tuck them into a journal, keep video files saved, or include them with estate or will papers. However you choose to use it, the result is the same, your memories are no longer just living in your head.  Not everyone is ready for a full interview right away, and that’s okay.

The 28 Day Memory Calendar is meant to be a first step. A way to get comfortable reflecting. A way to realize just how much there is to say once someone asks the right questions.

Often, people are surprised by what comes up. Stories they hadn’t thought about in years. Details they didn’t realize mattered. Emotions they didn’t expect to feel.

That’s the power of thoughtful questions.
