I do this! 1 month ago

It’s really interesting to keep a diary, remember what you do. I’ve tried to keep one every day for many years. Some years I’ve done only a few days, some I’ve done most/every day. More recently I’ve tried to keep up with it every day. Sometimes I have a few days to catch up on, but I write notes as I go along sometimes to remind me for when I properly write in my diary.



Right now... 6 months ago

Writing it, hadn’t written for a few days.



Currently 9 months ago

up to date again! It’s easier if I do it more often, really.



Finally 11 months ago

Finished 2008 diary now, well – what I could remember (with a bit of help from reading my mum’s diary)!

Now just got to keep up to date with 2009 diary, write it often! I am at the moment just about, which is good.



So... 11 months ago

I’ve been trying to get back on track with this, at least as much as I can – proves it matters to me, I guess. At least these last few days I’ve been writing in it, and trying to remember some past days… still got some to do, but I’ve made a start. At least I have a 2009 diary now that I got a few days ago, so I can write in it…



Unfortunate 11 months ago

set-back with this – losing my phone and with it some of my diary I had written on it. SO annoying. However, I just have to write what I can remember, what I can piece together, from my mums’ diary, my memory, whatever I can… sooner rather than later, definitely.

I learn from this how important it would be to keep up with my diary more regularly, so come on!

I know some people never keep diaries, even in the past some years I’d try and write a diary and still leave weeks, maybe even months, blank, or some years I would just write few details. As years went on though, well I realize that even though the WRITING of the diary can be a bit… I dunno, especially if you have several days to do, it can be a bit boring… but once written, it can be really interesting to look back and think ‘Oh I did that on that day’. You know? That’s why now, I want to keep a diary, and the last few years I have written more in diaries. So yeah.



Advice to myself... 12 months ago

if I keep writing every day or at least every few days instead of leaving it for weeks then it won’t build up and seem too difficult, then I shouldn’t procrastinate and leave it longer! Basically – write often!



Up to date 12 months ago

with 2008 now, too! So just got to keep up to date!



Finally 12 months ago

Finished writing 2007 diary in notebook. I was so behind, but it’s done now anyway! Yay!



Caught up 13 months ago

with 2008 at the moment.
