INTRODUCTION
Analyze the journaling you've done for a month, looking for patterns and trends that are more frequent than usual to identify your topic for your website from your own journal. Identifying the patterns and trends in your journal can help you understand your interests and passions, which can guide you in choosing a topic for your website. Additionally, this exercise can also help you develop a unique perspective on the chosen topic based on your personal experiences and reflections.
Observations from the data set
Even when I had assignments to
finish, I noticed that no matter how
productive my day was, after every forced walk or shopping trip, I almost
always felt a lot happier.
I divided the days into these three
categories as a result. I made a note of any outside forces or individuals that motivated me to do activities
outside of my schedule that brought me happiness.
Process
I wanted to demonstrate how appreciating and being aware of how very little, daily activities can make me happy. These little spontaneous things that happen every day, in my opinion, were frequently ignored because I associated happiness with routine.
I started by drawing a rough sketch and then added each daily activity with a different colored pen in my book. This made me think of them as different juices. My days were a muddled mixture of juices, and this project was a discovery of the hidden juice of happiness, so I picked up into making it into test tubes.
