Each year I promise myself that I will use a diary to plan my time. I actually bought one for myself this year but here it is March, and I haven't used it once but I do have lots of notes everywhere and notes on the calendar so I don't forget things but nothing in my diary. I never seem to forget anything but wouldn't it be nice to have all your plans in one place. Do you use a diary to plan your time?

I use a table planner to write some important events, notes or upcomming commitments. Well, so many times I tried to make myself habitual of writing the daily events in the diary in order to have a better look of my past afterwards, but having some pages written I could not continue with that. It was so hard to maintain as spare time was not available. I think if I would have started some 5 years back, now I would become a great writer ;) LoL. Thanks for sharing the idea!

I like keeping a journal. I especially like the fact that you can look back and reminisce about the past. The only thing that bugs me is that I can't do it routinely.
For some reason I will have big gaps in my diary. There will be months where I haven't written.
I'm just not in the mood to write like I use to. Also, I sometimes just e-mail a page or two to myself. I treat it like a journal entry.
I get to let frustration and anger out. At least I get that out when writing. I even somtimes cry while writing, which is hard because there comes a point where the tears cover up what you are trying to write.

I have a diary and i write things down in my diary. I have lots and lots of things to do and remember everyday so if i dont write it down i'll completely forget it. But, the problem is... i sumtimes forget to bring my diary with me. LOL. The only thing that i almost never forget is my cellphone. So, when i cant find my diary, i'll write things in my cellphone.
i dont exactly write the time for each action, but i do make a to-do list in my diary

Yes actually I do own a diary to plan what I have to do I really enjoy mine, and as I am so busy that I am glad that I have that to write down what I have to do so that I will not forget something important. This week though I have been so busy that I have not had time but I will definately be writing in my diary today and catching up with what I have done this week.
