The Brain

What do you need?

Types of content archived

    • BCC'd the wordpress site on important or interesting emails sent or received
  • PDFs

Things I would like to archive privately

  • Sleep logs

    • Not necessarily concerned with privacy of content, but most people don't care about the details of things like sleep logs, runs, food eaten
