It can be tough to face our own mortality. Keeping diaries, posting
to social media, and taking photos are all tools that can help to
minimize the discomfort that comes with realizing we have limited
time on Earth. But how exactly does documenting our lives impact
how we live and remember them? In this episode, diarist and
author Sarah Manguso reflects on the benefits and limitations of
keeping track of time, and Charan Ranganath, a professor of
psychology and researcher at the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience,
discusses what research reveals about how memories work and how we
can better keep time. Write to us at
