This is what photos & journals are for, IMO. The simple process of reflecting (writing) helps you commit your memories, and media helps you recall them later. You don't even need the whole thing committed to paper & jpg. I find if the framework is there in front of me, I can then fill in many of the details. Regardless how you feel about the value of "experiences" (e.g. exotic vacations) and whether they should be pursued, I figure it's important to remember. Your relationship with friends, family, & the world is all built on shared memories.
