For me, writing me snapshots was easy. It was, however, hard to decide which snapshots not to use. I used the technique of writing all of my ideas out and then deciding which paragraphs worked best at getting the point of who I really was. The paragraphs I took out I incorporated into my larger snapshots throughout my story. I went through big chunks of my life and figured out who I was throughout these larger memories.
I do agree that larger moments describe your life and character to a certain point. I think that if you take your memories that aren't too significant already really think about them and you will find a deeper meaning to them. You can figure out something new about your personality that correlates to your life today if you think hard enough about it. Sometimes small evens pack a big impact on your life.
