(Not Very) Important Memories...

Back in my corporate days, I managed my life through my work inbox and calendar - everything went in there (including non-work stuff), and it worked pretty well. But the day I left is the day I lost access to it all - all those appointments, all those tasks, all those memories, lost forever in a cancelled account on a deleted hard drive.

These days I try to keep my most important stuff on paper - what I did, when I did it, and sometimes why it mattered; sure there are gaps, and at times it’s just a random collection of pages on a pile or in a draw, but most of it’s there, ready for me to call on if needed…

Some memories are really important, but even the not very important ones are too important to rely on someone else to keep them…
