Looking for advice on how to raise my game on one of my first tiddlywikis 
ever.

It's a timeline of life events, so I can go back and answer my questions 
like "what grade was I in when that happened?  When did I move there?  When 
did I meet them?".

It started out as just a textual list, with some links.  Then I learned 
about tagging and stuff, and I ended up making a tiddler for each year and 
tagging the events to that tiddler (so I can rearrange them in the correct 
order thanks to the magic of list fields).

I have not done anything more than "attaching events to a given year 
tiddler" as far as assigning dates.  I'd like to actually put dates in a 
field, but I often don't have real date data, like I know something 
happened in "1980" or "late 1980" or "fall 1980" or "september 1980" or 
something like that.

Any suggestions on handling that sort of thing?

The technique I have, of just assigning things to years and arranging them 
manually in order, actually works fine.  It doesn't allow me to do things 
like use the timeline visualization plugin, which would be pretty neat, but 
that's not the most important thing.

I guess I'm just wondering whether anybody has best practices or hints on 
handling dates of widely varying precision.

I haven't touched this TW in a while so it's kind of fun looking at how I 
used to do things just a few months ago, and what I've learned since then! 
 (E.g. i used to make heavy use of WikiWords but that passed by the 
wayside....)
