The best ways to archive one's life are-
- Photography: One takes pictures of himself/herself and the people around you, or even strangers to a strange land. A photograph speaks a thousand words and is probably the easiest way to remember a part of your life. You can hold a picture in your hands or store it on your phone. It is a record of your life.
- Journal/diary: Writing about your day or anything memorable that happened has proven time and again as a great hobby. It is a way of boosting one's mental health as well as confidence. Nowadays, there are creative writing journals available that give you a prompt each day for five years, making it super easy to record your progress over the five years all in one place. This makes it easy and entertaining to read as every year goes by.
- Scrapbook/Memory box: One can fill a scrapbook with images of receipts from all over the world as one travels. Objects that you hold dear can be kept inside a box forever. So that someday you can re-find that box while cleaning your house and be transported to different times in your life.
