Do you keep a personal journal? Why?

I started writing a personal journal this year, but sometimes, I forget to write down my daily events. And when I forgot a few days, it would usually be hard for me to go back and continue from where I left off. After a few months, I discontinued it, as I was too lazy to write down all the occurrences of the day that I have missed. But, I guess I should continue as these are precious gems that I could leave behind. What about you? Do you keep a journal of your daily experiences and thoughts?

I did for a time but when my wife read it and saw that I wasn't really going to the Gym and playing poker instead, it kind of ruined it.

I guess you would have to learn the Russian language. I would like to learn Korean.

@Shavkat Really, then go ahead and write in Russian, most Filos won't understand it.

I started writing a diary a few months back. But ever since my aunts came, I've been lazy again. Lost the desire to write what happened every day when it's a lot.

Indeed, it's the same for all of us. Time is the culprit.

I guess no one is keeping up with it because of busy schedules.

I do keep a journal but I don't write it it everyday. Only when I need to organize my thoughts, or focus and boost my productivity.. it helps a lot.

I see, I will go back to writing mine later too. It does clear the brain and helps you remember important things.

I don't want others to see my diary. The only way I don't want to be seen is not to keep a diary

You're right. They may come to know what they're not supposed to know.
