Back when I was still in gainful employment I found it very easy. To avoid heavy traffic I drove in early and had a relaxing start to the day. Coffee and check emails etc and update diary. Now I'm retired and have so much free time I never seem to find that sweet spot where I can easily review my days, what's happening in the world etc.
Perhaps you should copy your posts on here and use them as a basis for your diary. Also don't get hung up on having to write several paragraphs. Some days just put down some notes. Where did you go, weather, any headlines that caught your eye. Good or bad mood.
My problem, apart from not having a sweet spot time is that I can't seem to interest myself lately. You'd think a bisexual crossdresser working through his relationship with his wife and friends, creeping out of the closet would be easy to write about, but it appears not - though I've just written here more than I've managed as a diary entry. Maybe the trick is to write at as something you want others to read and comment on.

I don't have time for a diary. However, I do have a drawer full of notebooks at work, where I can look back and roughly find events and contacts for both work and personal things. Last year, I purchased very good seeds online, so this year, I found the company in my notebook and purchased it again. Sometimes I do flick through them and find interesting things, like a half planned holiday that went by the wayside, etc. I also carry a snall notebook and scribble down things I want to google, or things i have to do, otherwise I forget.

I'm not the only one who spends time in IKEA. I occasionally notice people who I have seen several times before. Today there is a blonde woman of, perhaps, about my age sitting on a couch opposite who arrived while I was having breakfast over two hours ago. She's in the same spot having lunch while working on her laptop.

I've been to the sculpture park for a walk in the meantime.

You can always reminisce about what happened during the week and just note that you were thinking about those things on a certain day.

Journaling is hard, but now days so few people actually do it.

Having breakfast at the usual place with the usual feeble excuse that I had to go out to post a parcel.

Today's outfit includes the first outing of my very own made denim skirt. Of course some, most likely poorly paid, factory worker did most of the work, I just chopped off the legs and sewed a few very short seams.

It looks like I need to trim the back a little to make it straight.

The Henie Onstad Art Centre sculpture park is next to Veritas Park. In Veritas Park they use Husqvarna robot lawnmowers. I think it must be the first day they have been allowed out since the flowers bloomed because to there are big patches of flowers with distinct tracks running through them where the mowers have randomly wandered through.
