If the business of life is the acquisition of memories, it seems wise to invest regularly.

A few ways I've found to make more of them:

Get outside your four walls - create some serendipity, go out & attract action

Spend more time with others - a solo memory only exists as long as you remember it, a shared memory lives amongst all who experienced it

Say "yes" more often - do things you'd typically pass on, good or bad a memory will be made

Be more present - enjoy the moment, forget about posting on social media, and remember that everything is temporary

Make playlists - songs can capture moments in time, uniquely pairing words & sounds to past feelings

Take more pictures - looking at film from the past is the closest thing we have to time travel

Write down your days - as simple as a few bullet points, write down what you did / what happened each day, things you're working on/towards, etc

Document the mundane - our daily life is more memorable than we think

While you don't need money to make memories, consider the cost when opportunities come.

It's easy to say no to plans.

But one of my personal money rules: if it creates a memory, spend the money.

On the same topic, I like this breakdown from the Palm Report newsletter:

In 2018, the Happiness Research Institute did the world’s biggest study on how we create memorable moments and put all their findings in this book.

Some of the main points:

☼ Live a life of chapters: Like that time you lived in Morocco. Or those 4 months you spent mastering the art of water skiing.
‍
☼ Create novelty in the everyday: An average Wednesday night becomes a hell of a lot more memorable when you surprise your girl with a string quartet in the garden.
‍
☼ Use your senses: Apparently, Andy Warhol would change his fragrance every 3 months to punctuate periods of his life.
‍
☼ Celebrate more milestones: Birthdays and weddings are great, but have you ever been to a party for your best friend who finally passed their driving test at 32?
