    To create a TOC for a memoir, try these methods:

     Create a timeline.  Draw a line with the start date and end date of you’re the
    period about which you plan to write; begin placing dates on the line that indicate
    major events you want to include in your story. Then organize these into chapters.
     Plot vignettes you plan to write on a story board. Once you have organized them
    in chronological order, identified themes, and considered the narrative arc, write
    your TOC.
     Create an outline. List the events you plan to include, and then organize them
    logically with lesser events “under” more important events. (In all these cases, add
    in flashbacks in appropriate places.)
     Organize your memories into topics of interest.
     Make a list of 10-15 significant moments of meaning, turning points, in your life,
    and relate them to your themes; locate them on a timeline. Write each turning point
    in a scene, creating chapters from these core stories.
