Right after you get back from a trip or action-packed vacation, I highly recommend the following: think through each day of the trip, one by one, and write a list of all the things you did. Visualizing each activity as you write it down. To ensure more detail, you can also do this at the end of each day of the trip, rather than waiting until the end.
This will greatly improve your memory of your trip and make it a more valuable experience. It also makes it much easier to reminisce, and to consume those positive memories more readily. You can also re-read your list whenever you feel like reliving your vacation, which can be a lot of fun. Without such a list, you’re bound to forget most of what happened, losing a significant portion of the value.
If you took the trip with other people, I would recommend creating the list together with them, so that you can relive the experiences together.
Even better, you can pair such a list with photographs, which then tells the entire story of your trip.
