Hmmm.

I mean there are a number of issues I see with this for me personally.

First of, there is a huge amount of things that I 'should' do or have, plenty of healthy habits, like going for a walk, exercise, reading, meditation, learning an instrument etc, the problem is everything is a time trade, I can only choose to do a few things. To me personally what would having a personal website really give me more than any of those things?

Secondly, I don't think anything I would have to share would be that useful / interesting, I am not an expert in any field and if I just shared every random thought or idea, it would be such a niche mish mash of things, I don't see why it would be of interest to anyone.

What I do is i capture any significant moment of the year on a trello board, then at the end of the year, I take that as a reminder and I write about that year, I go through all my photos on my phone from that year and pick out the relevant ones, I note what I watched, what I listed too, what I did etc and then I email that too myself in gmail with a flag of 'time capsule'.

I also save and backup those particular writeups as PDF's outside of gmail for my personal record, this is great for me, but none of it needs to be public.
