Planning the Capsule
- Milestone: choose the event (10th birthday, graduation, wedding anniversary).
- Recipient: specific person(s) with contact info kept up to date.
- Format: voice, video, or text—voice feels most personal.
Scripting the Message
- Open with context: date, where you’re recording, who you’re speaking to.
- Anchor memory: a story, detail, or photo reference.
- Advice & wishes: one thing you want them to remember.
- Future prompt: a question they can answer later.
Schedule & Review
- Set a delivery date and a yearly review reminder to keep content fresh.
- Keep recipient details up to date (email/phone/contact person).
- Store an exported copy in a second location for safety.
Privacy & Access
- Limit access to intended recipients; avoid sensitive information that could harm privacy.
- Document consent where voices of others are included.
