Week 1B · 2 of 8 · 2 min read
A label such as "a busy year" can be accurate and still leave out a detail you would like to remember. Perhaps you found a way to make a task simpler or discovered an interest you had not expected.
Stay with an event small enough to describe. You do not need to explain the whole season before keeping something from it. A detail can remain a detail, without becoming the message of your year.
One question
Which part of an ordinary experience do I want to remember?
One small practice
Take an experience you can comfortably describe and write a specific part of it. Choose an action or detail, rather than a rating of how the year went. A private note is enough.
Complete: "The part I want to remember is ____." You can stop at the sentence. There is no need to find a lesson or make the experience sound more significant.
Use paper or a private note. Nothing needs to be submitted.
Your note stays in this browser.

Questions people ask
Should I choose the most important event?
You can choose an ordinary experience instead of ranking the year. The practice asks for a detail you want to remember, rather than the event that best represents your life. A simple, manageable example is enough.
Can I remember a detail without knowing why it matters?
Yes. Write the detail in plain words and leave its meaning open. You do not need to turn it into a lesson for the note to be complete. What comes next can remain a separate question.
