Record a changed preference in a memory note

Keep an old preference in its historical context without allowing the note to speak for what someone wants now.

Try this

  1. Label the preference as belonging to that time, such as the café you used to choose.
  2. Add a current note only with the person’s agreement if the record is shared. Avoid editing the past to make it match the present.

A worked example

“We often chose the crowded market then. These days we usually prefer a quieter walk.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

An old photo or caption is not evidence of ongoing consent to the same activity, gift or sharing practice. Ask about the current occasion.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
