How Do You Keep A Diary And Stick To It?
• Make sure your diary reflects your personality. Some of the ways people personalize diaries are: • adding scraps, like movie ticket stubs, receipts, flower petals, etc. • gluing in photographs • making sketches and drawings • writing poems • choosing a quotation or a goal of the day • Write in some basic information about yourself on the first page. You could include your name, your age, your best friend, your occupation or school grade, and a few of your hobbies and favorite things. Sometimes people include a “reward if found” note, just in case it gets lost. • Start your first entry by labeling the top with the weekday and date, the time, and possibly where you were when writing that entry. Write your entry as if you were talking to your best friend, or even to yourself, with enough detail to remind you what was going on at that time. Remember that things may be different in the future. • Don’t be afraid to even give your diary a name. Pretend it is a real person, not a non living
