I always have a pen but I haven't bought a diary yet this year I do carry note books however. I rarely write down web address's I tend to just save them to my favourites. I have written down some information I've found on the web as it was useful and I wanted to refer to it later.

I could not even remember to bring my pen quite frequently so having a pocket diary is definitely out of the question for me.. ha ha ha. All my appointments and other important notes are stored directly on my hand phone since that is the only thing that I would not forget to take with me when I get out of the house.

I invariably keep a pen, notebook and a diary in my hadbag. You never know what's going to crop up. I bake, ice and decorate cakes and sometimes people will want to give me an order, for which, I have to note all the details and date. Other occasions have been when people give me telephone numbers, website addresses, e-mail addresses etc. etc. So, I find it useful to carry a notebook and pen with me, plus my diary for date references.

I always keep my Sharp digital diary and a Black Reynolds pen in my pockets. I keep my diary at home and update it with days details at night. I can record telephone numbers, names,postal address, email and web address at my digital diary.

I don't carry what you call a pocket diary. Mine is more of a journal that is in my purse anytime I leave home. Yes I always have a nice pen as well. But when at home and surfing the net I do not have those two things handy (as my purse stays in a particular place near my door) so I write what appeals to me on a notebook that I keep by my computer.

Yes even I am very particular about keeping pen and diary always so that if there is a need to note down phone, address or any other important thing then I can do it.I personally feel this is a very good habit and this way you do not forget your important tasks either as I always write the tasks which I have decided to do for the day.

I do carry around a pen with me all the time but not a pocket diary. Pens are more difficult to come by than paper and so I practice this. Also carrying a pocket dfiary would just add bulk and so i make do with a pen alone.

no I don't but this sounds like a great idea. So that if someone tells you about a new website you can jot it down and you have it when you get back home.

I have a pda phone. I can do a lot with it. I can call, take pictures, surf the net if there is wireless connection around, write documents, etc. Its one of the three things I must always have with me when I leave the house.

Yes I usually carry a pen and a small note book in my purse and I use it so many times that I have to keep extra one just in case I run out of the pages the reason is,whenever I go to some one's place and they are not home I put note on their door I was here this and this time and didn't find you,cause i am never on time and no one can wait for me whole day,So I need a lot of papers,Besides this I am always looking for the real estates here in my state so I note down the numbers of peoples who are selling or buying properties,So for that I need it,Some times to note down any web address or compare prices while shopping I use it.Even not only a pen I carry couple of pens with me and note books,one funny thing that I do in my other pocket diary is making funny faces while waiting for any appointment.lols.So you can imagine.I need couple of diaries and pens with me which i usually keep.

Yes.I always keep a pen and pocket diary along with me.These things maybe outdated keeping in view the increasing use of technology in life.But the uses of a pen and pocket diary can never be ignored.In a pocket diary you can note down your busy schedule or the phone numbers of our friends.

That is a good thing. Even when you have something on your mind it can help because you can write it down. I love to write poetry and this helps a lot.

I keep a small notepad and pen in my purse at all times. Then if I'm at the doctor or held up somewhere I can be doing something productive like making a grocery list, a list of people I need to call, things to do, etc.
