Time-based Navigation

New You?
It is said that every 7 years you are a new person. If so, pick a day, such as your first child's birthday, and review, compare, and measure multiple aspects of your life going backwards at 7 year intervals.

Create a broad or narrowly focused and in-depth report for a day, month, or year. If you want, use the Intelligent  Calendar to list suggested journal links for concepts and topics that are associated with your report content.

Monthly Summaries
You may want to see a status report or gage your progress using periodic (monthly, quarterly, etc.) summaries, averages, graphs, and time period comparisons of the things you track and monitor.

This Day - Every Year
Both entertaining and informative, the command, This Day-Every Year shows you what you recorded for a date or day every year over any time period. Try this when you are having a particularly good, lucky, up, or a bad day. It is insightful to see what the "tide brought in" on the same date a year ago or 20 years ago. Use 9-11, November 22, December 7, August 15, July 20, or any personally special day to review everything you recorded in your journal―On this day in MY history. You can also modify the function to change the interval of time examined ("On this week in MY history) and to filter, group, and arrange the results (by interest, Category, etc.)

Time Capsules
Another fun and telling command creates Time Capsules full of notes, photos, audio, and links. You "bury" them on a date in the future. As with physical Time Capsules sealed in the cornerstones of new buildings, the contents of your Time Capsules are interesting and full of surprises when opened. In an interesting variation, you attach Time Capsules on past dates and find them by chance during your Discovery and Browsing sessions.

A Time Capsule may contain anything. It does not need to be elaborate―maybe a quick note such as, "If I still can't fit into my jeans, by today I will schedule a month of exercise with a trainer at the gym".
