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.
