We are all made up of a collection of past events, from the most trivial to the most significant, surrounded by other humans who are the results of their events. That’s a lot of memories!
Of course, to write about trivial things, we already have social networks to communicate them. These innocuous events are fun for us. If they triggered something that made them important to us, they are suitable for the biography.
The timeline
Identifying the decisive, important and significant moments of your life is essential to position them on your timeline.
From your date of birth to now, create a list of these events from your life. Write them in chronological order by date. The dates don’t need to be precise, but at least try to position the year and possibly the month.
Use colours to identify the events. One for positive events and another range of colours depending on the degree of intensity of more negative events. We will use these colours when the time comes to develop the memories.
Consult the blog entry Drawing your timeline for more detail.
