plan to do enough things to make it worthwhile keeping a diary

I’ve mostly found diaries pretty useless. I write things in them – concert dates, conference deadlines, whatever, but not enough things to make it worthwhile looking at every day – and if you’re not looking at it every day, a diary fails in its duty to remind you of stuff. I’ll open it up every month or two and discover a few events I’ve missed, and then decide it’s not working as a reminder. (I can forget stuff on my own – I don’t need a book to help me).. ah – but if I didn’t just do the same things every week – if I actually socialized and took holidays and things that normal people do – then I might be tempted to open the diary more often. hmmm. am I convincing myself? .. maybe not…
