I suck at keeping journals, diaries, calenders, you name it. Got the wrong idea about diaries when I was younger and thought you had to write in them everyday, so I'd write in any old uninteresting thing to fill the spaces.

I don't bother anymore.

I did that too. I only did it because my goal was to write about my life, then after I finished a journal I would store it, and in the future I would read it just to see how I was like before and how my mind "worked"... even if it is emberassing.
 
I've tried to keep one before but it only ends up lasting about a week. Then I just get too lazy to keep writing it. I'd like to be able to stick at one though, maybe I'll try again some day. :D
 
I do, but It's not for writing or anything. It's basically just keeping track of the music, TV shows, clothes, etc. Basically the stuff I like/want so I don't forget anything.
 
I keep a dream journal to write down what I am able to remember from my dreams upon waking up. That's about it.
 
Yes, I have a Diary, and a notebook for Japanese writing stuff, and to add to that, it has Japanese writing all over it. :D
 
I own a diary but it doesn't have a lock. I wanted to buy a really pretty diary from paper chase but it was 11€, a bit too expensive to my liking ):

I use a private blog w/ a pw on tumblr just for me and my bf since he is in college in nyc.
I type a bunch of random stuff or take pictures then upload it on there. he reads them and sometimes writes stuff to me which later I save it on there.
idk we want to keep a lot of memories in it then look back at it in the future lol. so lame sorryz.
That's actually an awesome idea you have there! I might start an online private blog *w*

I have a sort of on/off diary but I haven't been keeping up with it recently
 
i used to, like 4-5 years ago. i mainly used it to doodle and talk about what was happening.
i was reading it a couple weeks ago and it was so embarrassing... i threw it out
 
i've kept one for 3 years now, it's amazing how my speech pattern changed over time. also cringe at younger me's thought process dam
 
I've tried keeping them for venting but it never works out. I wish I could commit to one because I don't like keeping my thoughts solely in my head but it just feels weird to write them down knowing nobody else will see.
 
I keep a log of "3 good things" that happened each day. I have the tendency to tell myself that "nothing ever goes right" or "my life is ALWAYS awful", so keeping a log like this of even small things that go right each day for weeks on end reminds me that my life isn't so bad all the time. Its a strategy taught be positive psychologist Martin Seligman.
 
I like to keep a journal and to write about my day. I've always loved writing.
I try to write in it as often as I can, but I won't write in it if nothing happened that day.

That's a great idea! I might try that. :)
