Why travel needs to move from your "nice to have" to "must have" category. You've probably already heard Mark Twain's quote - but what is also true is that travel is fatal to broken ideas about yourself - Seeing the world and yourself in different circumstances has the potential to be lethal to misperceptions about who you are… your place in the world and in your own life. Combine this with Alex Hormozi's concept of stacking evidence of your identity and travel becomes a clear line to being the adventurer you THINK you are.

Make travel moments echo through eternity (or at least your lifetime)

A core quality of catching a moment and impressing it on your memory is focus. How you direct your attention.

Here are some techniques to avoid distraction and amplify focus.

1. Record audio - ambient sounds of the location and your experience in it. It's insane how hearing a recording of your trip can take you back in ways video or photos cannot. Think of how that album from the artist you couldn't get enough of in 2013 takes you back (feelings, senses, etc).
2. Limit photos - either go full analog and shoot 35mm or just make your digital photography much more focused/limited. You will remember taking them and they will mean more - I took 9 photos at The Great Pyramids on 35mm film... this works.
3. Sketch - with pen/pencil or with words. Doesn't matter if you suck, its the practice of observation that makes the difference.

Try combining these or adapting them to parallel activities you enjoy. It's also good for everyday stuff - try it out, record a day at work with these 3 approaches. If you post it, tag us, we want to see it.
