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 used to write in physical journals for years (1998-2008ish) but kind of fell away from it after that. Couldn’t assign it to habit anymore. From 2004-2010 I kept a LiveJournal but drifted from that too, only log on once every few years to post an update.
Now I just use Daylio to record vague daily updates about my mood, health, activities, etc.
Maybe eventually I’ll pick up a journal again but that’d have to be when my daily life gets a little more predictable.
