"What is a diary for planning, But what you are describing is more of a journal? I did keep that kind of journal from 1995 to 1998 when I went on a world adventure, I still read excerpts from it now, it’s great to remember the crazy days. " A diary can be used for both. Many people have published "diaries" of their lives E.g the diary of Anne Frank, The Alan Clark Diaries. And fictional diaries e.g. The diary of Adrian Mole, The diary of a Nobody. | |||

"Are you somebody that keeps a diary? You know, like january the 4th 10:30am set sail to the galapolos islands, all that kind of stuff, keeping a diary and noting it down. I am doing it but not rigiously, sometimes there are holes, like I dont do it everyday,sometimes it could be daily but not all the time. It is loveely to go back and read things, to see what you have done in the past, sometimes it can be really just one or 2 things you have done, other entries can be more details ones, where you might talk about the weather. You can also talk about feelings, relationshispfs, hearhtaches, all those things you know, everyone notes down different thigns. Do you write it on a computer or in diary? I write it in a dirary with a pen. I think that this is a lot better, because if you have it on the computer it could be wiped out. I also think that we are in the most interesting time in hisotry and I think that by writing down what is going on, like what kind of politics is going on and historians from the futore could look at that and see what was happpening then, exciting isnt it? Like, reading diaries from ww2, lessons could be learnt too. Do you keep a diary? Keeping a diary is easy but still a disipline to do it, tell the next generation of what happened on this day "The closest I get to that these days is keeping a holiday journal, but I do y write down a great deal about feelings…… Years and years ago, in another lifetime, I used to write poetry, this was my way of getting all of my feelings down on paper and out of my system, this was my “diary” in a sense. I stopped when someone found one of my poems and read it. Was written years previously and nothing to do with them, but they took it very personally and I felt very violated. I burned everything I had ever written and have never put pen to paper since ……… talk about throwing my toys out of the pram ……..   | |||

"I do, I use an app on my phone, it kinda tracks my health, feelings etc... I tend to write more when I'm down I guess it's an outlet to get it all out rather than bottle it up. It's a good little app or does match together activities/health with moods so you can look and see when you do this/that you tend to be on your down/happy days etc. " That is good you do it and on the app as it is tracking those things, yes, it kind of is an outlet too | |||

"I kept one at age 15 then 20 to 24 inclusive. Then from 2010 up to present day. In total just over 1/3 of my life. It's my own life/family member events and other things going on in the world. It's interesting to think "wonder if I mentioned that event" then finding out I did. " From 2010, entries have been on computer the others were written. | |||

"Iv a work Diary for a calender year with section on each page for my own personal life things" That is good to have it for both too  | |||

"And yes, I do record all my sexual activity which will shock my children if they ever read it." Me too, often in great detail. I embarrass myself sometimes! But there's a secret part of me which wants it published long after I die lol. | |||

"When I travel I do on an app that tracks my journey. I post pics, what I've done, annecdotes, how I'm feeling etc. Otherwise... No I don't. " That is good you do it when you travel too | |||
