FAQ

What kind of questions do you ask?

We ask about different themes/phases in the year, such as "Pre-Pandemic" and "Epiphanies." Some questions include: What beauty did you witness, and what did you become hopeful for? What do you miss about pre-pandemic life?

How long will it take?

It takes no less than 2 minutes to go through all the questions, and another 10 minutes for our automated system to create your booklet and email it to you.

How do I receive my booklet?

Once you press submit at the end, your responses are automatically interwoven into a little booklet with whimsical illustrations and fun facts. You'll receive this as a PDF with instructions on how to fold it.

What else is personalized aside from my answers?

Currently, we add country-specific data for Colombia, Cuba, India, Jamaica, the Philippines, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, the UK, and the USA. Please send us an email to let us know what other countries you'd like to add! (letstalk[at]plantain.me)

Is it really 100% free and anonymous?

Absolutely. Your personal data will not be sold or shared with anyone. You can also go through the process as many times as you want.

Why are you doing this?

Having worked with memory and personal stories for 8 years, we know this period is one we will be asked about forever, yet our team found ourselves already forgetting how we felt and what we did. We wanted a fun, simple, and thoughtful way to help us process and capture our own experiences of the year. We hope that by extending it to our community, we can help each other reflect on this pivotal period, and perhaps learn how to better capture and process memories that are important.
