It's great to see comments from people who have been inspired by this blog to try their own experiment in remembering every day that passes.
People sometimes suggest different approaches - everyone has to find what works for them, which will probably change over time as the days pile up.
I have just replied to a recent comment as follows:
Thank you for your comment. Please keep us updated on how your approach works.
When I began - nearly 10 years ago now - I had the hope that this process might develop hyperthymesia, the ability a very small number of people have to remember every day without memory tricks.
That hasn't happened, but I continue. It is still rewarding - if not more so with the memory tags that have been reinforced stretching back 10 years.
Though it takes some time to do the reviews, it is only a small fraction of my day and I am certain it is beneficial to my mental health to think about this wide range of experiences, not just those that come to my mind unbidden.
hey I noticed the 10 year mark has passed, how's it like to remember each day for the past decade?
