Keeping a diary is difficult. I noticed a long time ago that I am more likely to make an entry in my diary on days when very little actually happens, days when I don't really do very much.

Yesterday I spent hours in the garden cutting the tree cuttings down to a reasonable length to tie into bundles ready for the kommune to collect. That's not an especially noteworthy event but it is noticeably different from most days; so why didn't I write it up? It's not as if I didn't have time.

Strange really, or is it? Do others behave the same way? How does one succeed in creating a diary keeping habit?

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.
