We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to mark moments, make memories, and give our kids something to remember. Even if you don’t have kids, there’s still a high cultural premium on memories. Scrapbooking, photo albums, daily journals, the Gram. But if we try to manufacture memories, mechanize them, we’ll get overwhelmed by something that our brains already do. Let’s make memories like a Lazy Genius. Helpful Companion Links You can listen to Ten Steps to Creating Your Own Traditions (even if it’s geared a little bit towards holidays) here. Laura Tremaine’s family doing Sunday pancakes is a great example of a simple, but powerful memory-making practice. She also hosts a great podcast called 10 Things To Tell You. My favorite app for documenting with video is 1 Second Everyday. I also use a five-year journal (affiliate link) with a couple of lines for every day with space for five years. More info on Chatbooks, which we use to print photos of our kids from Instagram. Speaking of Instagram, I’ll be there on Thursday around noon EST to talk live about making memories. I’d love for you to join me. Download a transcript of this episode! This podcast is hosted by Kendra Adachi and executive produced by Kendra Adachi, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.
