You’ll forget ninety percent of what you watched this year. Make sure some of your year was worth remembering.

Watching leaves very little behind. Most of what you consume this year will be gone from memory within a season, which is not a tragedy, just what passive hours do. The hours that stay are the ones where you did something, went somewhere, or were with somebody.

Keep the shows and add one thing a week you will be able to describe later: a place, an attempt, a person you went to see. Write the week down in a single line as you go. One line is usually enough to stop a year from blurring together.
