...keeping track of everything

Never did updating my diary everyday. Even buying one, I didn't do. I always buy my yearly planner and bring it everywhere I go. I prepare for a planner than to have a diary. In my opinion, only woman entitled to have a diary.

hi adnileb Should I lie? Nah, I will never to friends. I had a diary until 2007 (and I started writing it out only in 2006) and I had written down an entry everyday on how much I missed being with my love of life. We had started seeing each other in 2005 end and in Dec 2005, I had realized that I am in love with her. But I did not have the capacity to tell her so as I was not yet earning good and ready for a married life. So in 2006, I went out to a different city to work and earn some good amount at least for marriage and immediate expenses. And during this time, I used to write regularly. Then after our marriage, I still buy a diary to write every year. And yes, I have some good content on those diaries. A discussion from another friend has made me feel that someday, I can get some content published as a book and maybe I win a Pulitzer(lol! Sorry, used all 3 of them)... But then every Dec. 31st, when I review those diaries, I feel I had been lazy all the year and have not enough of content... But yes, the writing of diary connects me with one passion of mine - writing with pen and paper... and now I realize that someone had promised me a Parker Pen!!!! Wait... I will call him up after this discussion and ask him where is that Pen

Hi there, dear friend! Happy New Year! During my younger years (well, that was not so long time ago ), I used to keep a diary. Actually I think I had been taking all important moments of my life from 1984 until 1993. It was fun. But I stopped when I gave birth. I ddn't have much time to write anymore.

I have not written anything down with pen and paper in a long time now. I have an app on my iPhone and iPad that I use. It is a journal app. There is also one online called Penzu. I use that also. But I mostly use the one on my iPhone and iPad. They have one for my Mac as well. They all work together, so no matter where i am, I can write. And they are all synced.

Hi there, I used to have a diary when I was in elementary, it is one of our daily works to do as part of our homeroom class I think if I am not mistaken and it is quite good. I'm doing that until I reach my secondary level. It is fun to have one...

Sorry to differ from your views,but i don't maintain a diary.Actually i have no time to write something about me,what happens with me and a like.But as far as planning is concerned,i do make plans and write all about them.

I am never good in maintaining a diary. Every year I get new diary from the bank. For the first month I would be writing my diary but thats about it and the diary would be kept inside the cupboard without being touched anymore until a new one comes.

I keep a diary. I already have one filled up and have started a new one. I'm not good at keeping a diary. I have been advised to write in a diary everyday but memorable moments don't happen everyday and sometimes I feel like I'm recording something that I don't want to remember. When I stop writing everyday however I forget to write in it at all. My old diary have time gaps of up to years because I forget and stop writing. I hope I am more consistent with this new one.

hi asnileb I do not keep a diary anymore but I love to journal and have st opped Due t o mylotting all the time. Yet journaling is a love of mine to do. In it I write whats going o n around me , and how I feel, sort of a running diary but also a writing exercise. I write down for thirty minutes just what pops in to my head and from there I may write a poem or a short story or even an article,. I love to write.[

I have FB which I ca track of my diary but then I realized that my status was full with hopeless so I change my status now with positive words and something that I want to reach in future..there I think every one in my friend list is following me the way I state now

I must agree and I am the same way. There are many times that I wanted to keep a diary and actually keeping one for a whole year would be nice. Like you said, you can later go back and read about all the things that you wrote about. I have a hard time keeping up with a journal. Sometimes I write in it and I'll go for days with writing in it and then there are other times that I forget to write in it and I'll go for days and then months and then just forget about it I haven't wrote in it at all and I just give up.

Hi sis! Nope. I don't have diary. In fact, if I have one, I don't know what I should write on it. I don't think I will start one either.(^^)

I kept one for years for my eldest 3 children as I was a single mother. I wrote for each of them nearly every day. This because I was a single mother and I wanted them to get know me by my own words (not by someone who never cared about me) if I would die suddenly. I tried to do the same for my latest two on computer but did quit with it (after the pc crashed). I started to make pictures again, so they have many of that and I write down some short notes to it. By now the youngest are 9 and 7 so I hope able to remember me from their own memories if they see their pictures etc.

Well,i am into my 18th year of writing diary.I feel fantastic about that achievement.It has been a great ride so far.I usually write in a A4 size page book.I always get the new year diaries and once done would keep them safely away in my cupboard.I do love reading memories especially the good ones.I do write all the pages in full,so nothing is wasted.I write about what happened on the day and the different thoughts i went and things like that.I do not think i had much days without much to write especially with online things happening.I always felt my diary as my great friend.I can share all my thoughts without regret and can be happy for things.I guess that thought and things made me to write diary for a longer period of time.I have also been successful in not sharing my diary with others for all these long.I am happy with being myself and within me.I also enjoy reading past year diaries.There are always some special moments in life.Its fun reading them and also inspires you for the present things.But good to know your part of things.Thanks!

I kept something like that.It was more like a lyrics collection. Before, I like to write songs, so I wrote whatever I had in mind in a very small notebook. It was handy at times, but most of the time I just scribbled all over the notes. I got back to it one day and found out how corny most of the lyrics are. I did that because sometimes you can't remember stuff, most of the time when they got your head for a moment and then just disappear. I have problems remembering things like that, I think most of us do.

hi, when i was in high school student i had a diary but after that i didn't write my story in my diary,its really fun reading my past in a diary,and it will made me smile and laugh,but now i don't have a diary now because i don't have time do to that.

Hi I dont like writing a diary. As you said i too tried writing it when i was in school but when i read it after sometime i didn't like it and felt the same "its nonsense" hehe. so i never tried it after. No plans of starting any more. I hope you write some thing interesting this time.

I am keeping a journal to keep track of my daily activities specially that one in our office. We are being required to submit our Work Program at the start of the semester and we will have to accomplish a performance evaluation sheet at the end. It is easier if an employee is keeping a daily journal. This evaluation sheet shall be the basis for the release of performance incentive bonus. Have a nice day!

Hi friend, good to hear about your diary habit. Previously few years before i had diary habit and wrote my day to day activities, but now i don't have time to write diary and completely give up that habit. Writing Diary is really a good thing and we can remember about a thing easily while checking the Diary

I kept a diary when I was still a student.After graduation from university,I found it hard to keep a diary everyday though sometimes I really want to keep it.You are right,it is a good habit which can record everything rather keeping in mind and with the time going on,they would be the precious memories.
