Olive Jar
Leave it around the house -- Fill the Jar with Memories & Information. (over a day, week or months)
The red scrolls can be colour coded, using words and pictures. The jar fills as you fill it, until they it is too full to move freely. When you go to retrieve the memory olives -- you can only take from the top (the more recent entries) -- once enough room is made the olives will end up very mixed.

hello this Ephraim just want to say i love your idea, but i was just thinking and this is just a suggestion. You know how we living in technology word, imagine if technology is built into the olives and it records the time and day you first took the sheet out. If it gives you option to add your voice, you can detail what you wrote since you dont even have enough space on ur olive sheet. That way it will not be too hard to read from the sheet and also prevent waste. Waste in a sense that when what victim wrote does not make sense to them or made a mistake in writing. They will reach out for another and waste the previous.This is just a suggestion peace out!
I really like the physicality of the olive messages, they are very inviting! And the idea that any one message carries as much weight as another is also whimsical and fun, much like the way that things happen in life really has very little order, or hierarchy of importance. We think that we can impose order by making plans; this is of course very difficult for an amnesiac. The olive jar is as good a metaphor for the important things in life as any.
I like your wooden prototype, as well as the digital one. Creating circumstances where what we do is somewhat randomized can introduce the element of surprise by the present - which can create conditions for happiness and fun. Interesting emotional factors.
