Take pictures. Hoard them. No point sharing them, no point carefully organizing or editing them.

Just know that somewhere there's the pile of pictures of years past, in approximately chronological order.

You will not remember what you have forgotten. When you flip through the old photos you'll remember that you did much more than you can pull straight from memory.

This becomes more valuable as you get older, not only will you likely feel that your memory is becoming lower in resolution(my memory felt photographic until late 20s, the assumption it would always be that good turned out wrong) but you'll also have more bygone years to remember from as you get older.

But don't back up photos to an SSD that is unplugged from power.
