A few of my friends diligently track their restaurants, experiences, and locations using Google Maps.
They maintain a ‘Been There’ list, and a ‘Favourites’ list.
After being inspired at how quickly they could remember and recommend experiences from past trips, I thought I’d give it a go too.
I’m now taking photos and leaving reviews for restaurants, services, and natural locations (e.g., beaches, national parks, etc.).
And even after doing it for just a few weeks, my Google Maps is filing up with little green flags and hearts, and I’m very quickly able to re-visit a place and remember the meal or the scenery.
I know this is going to come in handy in the future when I want to remember a trip or a holiday, or I want to recommend an experience to a friend, but I can’t quite recall the detail. I can now just pull up my Google Maps and I’ll be remembering in no time.
