I've been working on an essay about this topic!

In short, my advice is to "make incompressible memories". Your brain collapses similar experiences into each other. Frequently change everything about your life.

I tend to group major life changes around (1) family/work, (2) yearly themes, and (3) "characters". Every year or two I get a radically new haircut and wardrobe and immerse myself into an imaginary role. My last phase was "mullet man" and now I'm a "europop DJ" haha

Thank you for your reply, would love to read the essay when its finished!

However, I feel the answer more memories, more experiences, etc, is not the answer to this question. its more aching to, making sure not to waste time, to have more to show for it at the end! of the day.

My question is more about aware in real time, to slow it down and be aware of the time, now, to appreciate it more. because, if you are having fun, time flies. and new experiences and memories can be very fun to create.

So you are going from Achtung Baby Bono to Pop Bono?
