From Nathaniel Drew‘s Skillshare course Document Your Life: 4 Methods to Live More Intentionally:

1. Keep it simple. Don’t think too hard about it. Want to take a photo? Use your camera phone. Want to journal? Just write one sentence. Progress starts small.

2. Date everything. You’ll be thankful you did when you look back on it in the future.

3. Be as clear as possible. Similar to 2. Don’t assume you’ll remember this moment later – write everything down. Names, places, colours: tell it as if you’re talking to a stranger.

4. Make sure you enjoy doing it. Never do anything you hate.

5. Make it accessible. Make it easy to document your life at any moment. Keep your tools small, simple and something you’d want to have around. Get used to carrying a camera or a journal with you wherever you go.

6. There’s no right way to do it. You can look to others for inspiration but ultimately, it’s up to you. The only “correct” way to do it is the way you’re happy with.

7. Think long-term. 20 years from now, you’ll be glad you started today. The mundane events today might be life-changing in the future. Record it down.
