According to this month’s Real Simple<\/i>, I can make my life more memorable by taking more notes about it: <\/p>\n

\nFrom “Jot It Down”
\nThere’s a reason people say time flies. Some of us may think it’s because each day grows “shorter” in relation to the total time we’ve lived. Psychologists say it’s due to routines that make one day indistinguishable from the next.

When you take a look back, you’ll remember the moments that add up to your life. [their emphasis]<\/p>\n

\nContinued to procrastinate on editing Vietnam lesson plan by writing journal entry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
