Keeping a "one-sentence journal"
One of my successful happiness-project initiatives is to keep a “one-sentence journal.” For quite a while, I’ve been alarmed by how little I remember about my own past. As a consequence, I’ve become much more careful to take photos and videos regularly, as a kind of diary to keep my memories vivid. Also, I wished that I could keep a proper journal, to maintain a colorful record of what’s happening in my life, but that would just be too much work. Instead, I came up with the idea of keeping a “one-sentence journal.”

Remember Doogie Howser? He used to end each episode with a one sentence journal entry on his computer.
