Do you like to keep a diary you write about your day in, or a journal you can write anything in?

Question

I think I'm better off with just a journal I can write anything in. It gets very tiring writing about your day...every day...sometimes I like to write things that aren't real, sometimes I like to write a diary entry, and sometimes I like to write about one single thing that day as though it was in a book. If you saw my last question about the diary, you would understand why...lol.

Answer 1

I keep a daily journal with my activities (and thoughts) for that day. Maybe it isn't as creative as the other type, but I find it interesting to look back through it five, ten or twenty years later. Interesting to see your thinking change over the years.

Answer 2

Yes, I do, but I have been lax with it lately. Got so much going on in my life right now, I just don't have the time to write. I keep it on my DOS computer, on R:Base. Very convenient. I guess that right now is the time I should be keeping up with it, so I'll have a record of all the things I got done. And there's more to come. My mind is racing with ideas! I hope you enjoy your journal. Thanks for inspiring me to get back to mine.

Answer 3

I have a diary for special events, things I really would like to remeber, also I use it when travelling. I agree that writing it every day is tiring. It's a waste of time and paper, but I enjoy reading about events years ago...

Answer 4

My days are too boring to write about; work, work, work, so I keep a journal that I can write about whatever I want to in. IE: People I know, people I meet, things I feel and what I think, etc.

Answer 5

Yes I have had a journal for about 15 years now. I write in it nightly.

Answer 6

I keep a journal I can write anything in. I write whenever I feel like it. Sometimes it's pretty therapeutic esp when I'm feeling down & out... :-)

Answer 7

I have no time to do that.

Answer 8

journal's better
