Do You Keep a Diary?

[killers2]

I just started recently and I find it's a good way to wind down at night!  It is nice to write my daily life down and my state of mind.

I had one when I was 10.  My father was nosy and I suspect he read it.  I tore it up and didn't have one since.  I lived overseas for a few years and I kept one then.  Just a record of my daily life and adventures there.  I was going to make it a blog but I just wrote it in a notebook instead.  I haven't read it in a few years.

Hello!

Yes, I have an online diary that allows others to read what is going on in my life. I also have offline diaries which I kept in my younger years. It's always good to see how far you have come in your life by going back and reading old thoughts. Yes, I agree a diary is a good way to wind down after a long day.

No I don't. But the only time I did was a 7 day project I did for an online survey I completed and was compensated for it.

I have always kept a I diary from the time I was required to do so from my 5th grade class in my grade school days.  As a writer it's a way to release all the pain, anger, frustration, stress, anxiety and joy that happens during the course of the day.  Often enough it's been a constant companion through hard times and times of sorrow like when I lost my maternal grandmother.  It's seriously the best drug on the market.  And heals with no side-effects.

No, I do not keep a Diary, but my husband write down things important in our lifes, he calls it his book of life.

Wow.. the same thing happened to me. The only difference is my mom was the nosy one, and I knew for sure she had read it. I was so annoyed that I just tore out the pages I had written on, tossed it aside and never wrote in it again. I now just write my thoughts in a journal when I feel compelled.

I did once, just as an outlet for a terrible marriage.

BIG MISTAKE

Husband found it. I confronted him, and he left....but that was a good thing, he was always cheating on me.

Would never do that again.

i dont like to write and i feel most days i would put down much anyway

[Skyisbluetoday]

I don't keep a diary of my life, r any kind of journal. Just something that I've not done in many years. I'm not much for writing on paper. It's good that you can do that to unwind from a long day!

I told my kids when they were young kids that they should keep a diary, just incase they get famous lol.

[mamatygress]

I really need to do this.  It's good to vent.  And to think about things.

I used to write in them when I was a child up until I was about 16 or so. I actually still have them stored away in a memory box.

One of the few luxuries that I afford myself is a Franklin Covey planner which I have had/followed for twenty five years. I plan out each day, week, month, quarter and year as well as projects that need to be done. Daily tasks are prioritized for work and family. I keep favorite quotes in it and ideas for improvement the next month. I write down the names of songs that I would eventually like to download.  I keep track of special holidays and write down ideas that I have geared towards making others happy. I keep track of meetings and put my meeting notes in it. During my self employment days I used to keep receipts in my planner. I used it to write a few speeches that I needed to address. I scheduled out bands that I wanted to see at bigger concert venues. In these ways it was/is kind of like a diary for me.
