It might sound strange, but recording a goofy voice memo just for yourself can be a surprisingly fun little lift - whether you’re alone in the car, waiting in a queue, or walking to the shops. Think of it like a tiny time capsule for your own amusement.
Try a fake radio intro, a dramatic reading of your to-do list, or a pep talk in your best superhero voice. You could even sing a line from a song that always gets stuck in your head or invent a joke on the spot. You don’t have to share it...
Open your voice memo app.
Set a silly or joyful intention - like making yourself laugh, cringe, or smile when you hear it later.
Record whatever comes to mind: a ridiculous thought, a song, a funny update, or a message to future you.
Save it with a funny title, or set a reminder to listen to it next week.
Mood Boost Folder: Create a private folder of voice notes that never fail to make you smile.
Voice Mail Roulette: Send one to a friend who’ll appreciate the randomness.
Kid Collab: Let your little one add a line or two, and save it as a mini keepsake.
