We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to mark moments, make memories, and give our kids something to remember. Even if you don\u2019t have kids, there\u2019s still a high cultural premium on memories. Scrapbooking, photo albums, daily journals, the Gram. But if we try to manufacture memories, mechanize them, we\u2019ll get overwhelmed by something that our brains already do. Let\u2019s make memories like a Lazy Genius.\nHelpful Companion Links\n\nYou can listen to Ten Steps to Creating Your Own Traditions (even if it\u2019s geared a little bit towards holidays) here.\n\n\nLaura Tremaine\u2019s 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.\n\nMy favorite app for documenting with video is 1 Second Everyday.\n\nI also use a five-year journal (affiliate link) with a couple of lines for every day with space for five years.\n\n\nMore info on Chatbooks, which we use to print photos of our kids from Instagram.\n\nSpeaking of Instagram, I\u2019ll be there on Thursday around noon EST to talk live about making memories. I\u2019d love for you to join me.\n\nDownload a transcript of this episode!\n\n\n\nThis podcast is hosted by Kendra Adachi and executive produced by Kendra Adachi, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.\n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
