Question

Where do I start in terms of time period?

Community Answer

This is variable, depending on the purpose of your personal history. For example, if it's targeted toward a career application, you might want to start with your earliest relevant experience. If it's more of a general life history, you may be more inclined to start with your earliest salient memory.
