Photos, journalist, audio recordings, video, blogging, printing photos, making music, posting online etc…
How do you record certain events? Make a journal entry? Just keep it in your memory to yourself?
How do you trust you wont forget the small details that you know today?
How do you trust the security of your documented life? your journal, your printed photos?
You you like analogue or digital documentation? Do you store data on HHDs? (they have a ~30 year lifespan) Mdisk? Photos? Pen and Paper?
Childhood memories? How do you view these archives?
Do you even believe in documenting the events of your life? Is it important to you? The quicker you write down an event, the more emotion you can convey.
What do you do and don’t do?
I mostly don’t. Maybe this isn’t the kind of answer you were interested in. I think memorable experiences are transient and are more beautiful the more fleeting they are. The more I try to immortalize some moment, the less I feel I’m able to enjoy it in the moment. There are some exceptions. I keep recipes in Google keep. Most of them I just know how to make but I might need my memory jogged for a measurement or temp setting. I also have a small notebook I use as a gym journal. “Journalling” seems like a stretch for the chicken-scratch numbers, though. It’s mostly so I know how much weight to use next time I go.
