Right now you’re building the memories you’ll live off of later. Stock up on good ones.

A long way into the future, much of what you have will be what you can recall, and that supply is being produced now, on days that feel unremarkable. Nothing gets stored from hours spent waiting for something better to start. The account fills up with what you actually did and who you did it with.

Add one thing to the store this week rather than leaving it to chance. See somebody, go somewhere, finish something you can point at. Doing it on purpose makes the memory no less genuine.
