Remember the work.

One of my coworkers was collecting footage he had shot today and reminded me of the importance of keeping that kind of record for myself. Everything we shot during the season will be shipped off to the network soon and once it's gone we will not likely have a chance to claim any of it back for pretty much any reason. I'd like to use some of it for my reel but I'd love to keep some of it as a memory of the experience in some way. It was a treasured opportunity that I value as a memory of my past. Memories are the sum of my history when there isn't any physical element to hold on to... and memories always fade over time. Even the best ones.
