    I do this! 3 hours 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.

    I have decided to not write in the diary every day because I worked out I’m less likely to keep it going. Instead I’m writing my thoughts down every couple of day which I find works better



    My diary 1 month ago

    I always try to start a diary but I usually give up after a while. My one has been going daily since august 10th 2009. I’m not sure I will keep it going but fingers crossed. I have always believed this is a worthwhile exercise but I never had the disipline to keep it up.
    My book I use for my diary is leather bound and the pages are plain, not with those pre-printed lines which I hate in a diary!



    ... 1 month ago

    I stopped writing a long time ago but a few weeks ago I started a virtual diary witch has been a lot easier!

    finally bought one.. 1 month ago

    have scrawled 2 and abitpages so far. Trying to rationalise my thoughts by jotting them down. Too much going on in my head, for me to focus on one thing. Lots of white noise! lol

    I never thought I would be overly sucessful, I have a tendency to lean towards procrastionation and find it hard to stay motivated, but so far, brilliant! I’ve really developed the habit! From the 9th July to this day I have written an entry every day be it twon lines or three pages. Not only that my journal has become indispensable to me, its a source of comfort, its familiarity essential part of my dad to day life. I like to flick through just browsing old entries. I havn’t stuckt to simply writing the events of the day but rather have mixed things up with photos, doodles, quotes, poems ect ect. It had become a great source of creativity for me, and of course it is useful to look back at certain dates and remember.

    Dear Diary... 2 months ago

    So far so good. While I haven’t written every single day, with a week’s break in August, I have to say that I am pleased with myself. I keep the diary in our lounge, making it visible and easily accessible. I sometimes write on a sheet of paper while at work, if something important comes to my mind. In this way I can write if I’m inspired.
    I don’t believe it is beneficial to force myself to write – that would make it a drag and a duty, rather than something constructive and fun.

    I am doing really well, not doing it every day but every other day at least as and trying not to put too much pressure on myself to do it everyday as I know this is when I give up and can’t be bothered anymore!

    About my diary 2 months ago

    I have a diary since April but I don’t write in it very frequently, so I’ve replaced this goal for the one “write in my diary more often” a few months ago. I hope to accomplish this new goal soon.

    Self explanatory really – I have tried a few time, but I always seem to lose interest after a while…
