Keeping a Diary

United Kingdom
February 15, 2024 5:16am CST
I remember when I was younger it was normal for somebody to give you a diary as a present for Christmas. I had several given me over the years, but most of them just stayed in my cupboard. One year I did decide to keep a diary but I got so bored with everyday sounding the same so I stop writing in it after January. I know some people keep a diary to make notes of dates and appointments etc, but I wonder if anybody makes a note of what happened each day anymore. Do you keep a diary?

I keep a daily journal from many years, I have a wall calendar where I note the appointments.

@lazydaizee Sometimes I do, when I want to check what we did on a particular day.

Did you keep your journals and look back at what you were doing at the time?

@LadyDuck It can be useful to see what you have done on a certain day in the past.

I kept a journal for the last six months I spent in Korea. I have an online calendar I use to keep track of appointments and planned events.

Your journal sounds interesting, how long were you there for?

I send reminder emails to myself. I used to keep a dream diary.

How long did you have your dream diary for? I have never thought about keeping a diary of my dreams, maybe I should because I have some strange ones sometimes.

My mother kept diaries for a great many years but living on a farm there was more going on. I kept one for quite a few years but, like you, eventually it was just the same things over and over and I gave up.

I expect it was interesting living on a farm.

I used to. I love reading my old diaries during the time I was going to school and then later, dating. Have a good day.

Sounds like you had an interesting youth. In my diary it was the same thing everyday. Get up, go to work, come home, go to bed. That sort of thing.
