Can We Keep Time?

It can be tough to face our own mortality. Keeping diaries, posting to social media, and taking photos are all tools that can help to minimize the discomfort that comes with realizing we have limited time on Earth. But how exactly does documenting our lives impact how we live and remember them?
In this episode, diarist and author Sarah Manguso reflects on the benefits and limitations of keeping track of time, and Charan Ranganath, a professor of psychology and researcher at the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience, discusses what research reveals about how memories work and how we can better keep time.

I find that taking pictures of beautiful sunrises and sunsets while walking the dog, for instance, and then sharing the best of them, motivates me to go out more and helps me enjoy the walks more.

Some of the photos of these beautiful sunrises/sunsets seemed to be a bit of keeping up with the Jones. Especially if these photos are from exotic vacation locations. I believe that photos that you share need to be edited to really exceptional. I hated the fad on FB, where friends went to restaurants, & took photos of the menus & asked what they should order for dinner etc.
