"On this day" refers to the practice of looking back at memories created on the same day of the year in previous years. For example, if today is March 12th, 2020, you'd review memories from previous March 12ths (2019, 2018, 2017, et al). It's a simple and methodical way to review memories from your travels, especially if you employ it as a daily ritual. [Facebook Memories](https://www.facebook.com/memories), [Timehop](https://www.timehop.com/), [Apple Photos](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207023), [Google Photos](https://support.google.com/photos/thread/14212451?hl=en) (and likely others) offer some similar functionality. I've also built in a similar prompt to [One Photo Club](https://betteradventures.club). Keep in mind that each of these is dependent on what content is available to the app in question, so they'll never be a complete solution. For instance, you likely didn't post your entire trip journal as [[Photo captions]] inside Apple Photos. However, these apps can offer simple ways to [[§ 1.5 - Remember|remember and re-live]] those moments, especially as one component of a larger [[Remembering system]]. ## Other ways to expand the process You can also expand this methodology and use it in two other ways, too: a [[Daily gratitude practice]], and a [[Digital decluttering]] practice. As a gratitude practice, you can look back at your photos, journal entries, email messages, computer files, or any other things that are easily retrieved by date created or modified. This reminds you of what occurred in the past, which provides an opportunity for gratitude. If the item generates a positive feeling, then you can be grateful for that experience. If it generates a negative experience, you can be grateful for what has changed since then, or grateful that you now have the opportunity to change it moving forward. As a digital decluttering practice, it's also an opportunity to delete the blurry and duplicate photos, emails and computer files that are no longer needed, articles you saved to read "one day," and so forth. This provides a simple structured practice for slowly digging oneself out from the colossal mound of digital items we seem to unnecessarily save in modern society. And beyond decluttering, it also provides an opportunity to improve your digital assets: organizing your files, "favoriting" photos, adding captions, exporting important files to a more permanent storage location, etc. --- Last updated: March 3, 2023
