The one-of-a-kind
Life Book that takes
5 years to make
What will things be like
5 years from
now?
What were you doing
5 years
ago?
You can write anything you want: what you ate,
where you went, who you met. The
weather,
blooming flowers, casual
conversations shared with others, everyday little events
that happen in your life — they’re all things you can
write in your techo.
By collecting one, three, five years of entries, the book will become your very own, with unique entries you’ll feel happy going back through.
Take a moment each day to write things down little by little.
The left-hand page features 5 rows, each representing a different year on the same date. The year is listed in order from top down.
The right-hand page is a blank memo page.
This will become a Life Book
that’s the only of its kind in
the world.
It takes 5 years to make,
and the reading audience is
your future self.
The 5-Year Techo has seven features that make it easy to continue using over the span of 5 years.

Diary/notebook
Example : Birthday records
Having the same date across a single page lets you list out things like your grandmother’s age or what you talked about with her on the phone that day. By writing out short notes about your work or shopping date, the delight of looking back on those memories will only get better.
Parenting journal
Example : Pregnancy / delivery / parenting journal
5 years can encompass the full span of life events like pregnancy, delivery, and raising your child. That time really flies, but at the same time, those 5 years are filled with things to talk about. Don’t push yourself, though! It’s more than enough to just sit down and write when you’ve actually got a moment to do so.
Growth records
Example : Tracking the time from graduation to getting a job
You can see how you’ve grown and changed across your first 5 years in society as an adult. Even if you’re tracking simple things like temperature, weather conditions, and a single line about the day, you’ll have 5 years’ worth of precious memories. Setting a rule like only needing one line for the day can make it much easier to consistently stay on top of.
