Start writing things down. If you have a terrible memory like me you might regret not documenting more of your life, especially because so many things happen in your 20s. I've started a weekly journal in my 30s and I'm so happy that I did.

It's also worth doing the same for things at work. Having a few stories written down about features you've implemented or bugs you've fixed may help you get through a few interviews.

This is so important. I recently went through old computers and made a web archive of every website I’ve ever worked on [1]. There’s still so much missing, though, especially from high school and college. I wish so much that I had had the foresight to save these things in advance, rather than trying to recover them years later.
