You've been capturing your life for years—photos on your phone, entries in journals, posts scattered across platforms. But when you actually need to find something specific, or when you want to understand what happened during a particular period, where do you look? How do you find it?

That's the gap the PLR Method™ fills. It's a post-production workflow for life—a systematic way to take all those captured moments and organize them so you can actually retrieve them later. Not just store them. Index them.

What is Life Indexing?

Life indexing is the organizing principle at the heart of PLR. Instead of archiving everything chronologically in one long timeline or categorically in isolated buckets, life indexing means cataloging your experiences both ways simultaneously. You maintain chronological integrity—your Daily Digest, Weekly Circle, Monthly Highlights, Yearly Index—while also organizing those same moments categorically across your 13 Life Categories.

Think about how you'd document your work history for a resume. You'd want start dates, job titles, responsibilities, salary progression. Life indexing applies that same intentionality to every category of your life—not just work, but relationships, health events, home projects, the pets you've owned, the cars you've driven, the surgeries you've had. It's about asking the right questions about each life category so you know what data to collect and where to catalog it.

How the PLR Method™ Works

The PLR Method™ operates in layers, moving from immediate capture to long-term organization:

Start with your Daily Digest—brief entries that capture key events, people involved, and why it mattered. Not deep reflection, just enough detail to trigger the memory later. At the end of each week, review those dailies and create your Weekly Circle. Monthly, you pull the 10-12 defining moments into your Monthly Highlights. Yearly, you distill the year into its Index—the moments that defined those 365 days.

Then comes the categorical layer. Those same moments get organized into your 13 Life Categories—Family, Career, Adventures, Health, Relationships, Creative Work, whatever structure fits your life. Personal Life Record® gives you the framework to catalog these systematically, so when you need to remember when you bought that car or when your dog got sick or what happened during that work project, you know exactly where to look.

Index, Don't Archive

The difference between the PLR Method™ and everything else? Retrieval. Photo albums, journal stacks, even most digital tools—they're archives. Personal Life Record® is an index. Archives require you to dig. Indexes point you directly to what you're looking for.

Your Personal Life Record® becomes your life's search engine. Not just for dates and events, but for understanding patterns, recognizing neighboring moments, and connecting dots you wouldn't see otherwise. There's more to a moment than meets the eye, and life indexing helps you uncover it.

Start Your Personal Life Record®

The PLR Method™ isn't about creating more work or complicating your life documentation. It's about organizing what you're already capturing in a way that actually serves you later. It's the difference between having 15 years of journal entries you can't make sense of and having a system that lets you extract meaning from every single one of them.
