Keep a journal, and take lots of photos.
I took photos once digital cameras were available, but I strongly regret not keeping a journal, I could have easily done so.

I would recommend getting a 35mm film camera and taking a LOT of pictures. Capture yourself, family, events, travel, life milestones.
You will only REGRET the ones you did not take.
Alternatively, something I am looking into, is printing a few hundred photos you have on your smartphone at the end of each year. Get the best ones in physical form to keep safe.
I think its a beautiful way of capturing your year. You don't have to post it anywhere, just keep it for yourself, family, and especially future kids.
