LIFE FRAMEWORKS IS HOW LIVED EXPERIENCE GETS RECORDED
“Some things are noticed, not dated.” Annie Dillard
• Yearbook Foundations gives you structure on the page.
• Time Markers give your year orientation.
• Life Frameworks supports something different.
It exists to help you record how life was lived, not just what happened or when.
Life doesn’t arrive as neat events.
It’s experienced through people, routines, changes, pressures, joys, and seasons, often overlapping, often unresolved.
Life Frameworks is a series of cards designed to be used in your yearbook pages to capture that lived context/experiences.
Not as chapters.
Not as categories to move stories into.
But as story anchors that help you notice and record what life actually felt like as it unfolded.
These cards work across the year:
• beside weekly pages
• alongside events
• during long seasons
• when nothing “big” happened, but life was still being lived
They don’t interrupt the timeline.
They enrich it.
Without Life Frameworks, a yearbook records moments. With it, a yearbook records a life.
TIP
When something feels important but doesn’t belong to a single date, use a Life Framework card to record the experience, then let the timeline continue.
Life Frameworks completes the Yearbook Trilogy.
Use it with Foundations and Time Markers to record not just what happened, but how the year was lived.
