Getting started
LifeSparks starts working once there's a collection to draw from. So the best thing you can do in your first days is build one — and most people find it's not a chore but an afternoon spent with their own life.
Start with your camera roll
It's the fastest way in. Scroll back from today and stop at the photos that still make you smile — each one is a Spark waiting to happen.
Set each Spark's date to when the moment actually happened, not to today. Then it comes back to you as "four years ago," and that distance is part of what makes it land.
Aim for twenty
Aim for at least twenty Sparks to begin with.
A Spark comes back every three days, and none repeats within a month. With only a handful, you'd keep seeing the same few. Around twenty is where it starts to feel like your life coming back to you rather than a loop.
Not everything has a photo
Some of the best moments were never photographed. They can be Sparks too: a few lines about what happened, the song that belongs to it, or a voice recording of you telling the story. These prompts help you find them — tick them off as you go.
Make each Spark rich
You create a Spark once, and it comes back to you again and again — so a few extra minutes up front pay off many times over. Don't stop at a line of text: add photos, a video, your voice, the music that goes with it. The more of the moment a Spark holds, the more fully you can step back into it.
Keep adding
Your first collection gets you started. What keeps it alive is adding to it: when something good happens, capture it quickly — a photo, a sentence — and fill in the rest later. You'll notice something along the way: once there's a place for good moments, you start seeing more of them.
