Diary Consistency

Someone on Quora asked me a question about writing diary consistently and while reading all the answers and I thought that there are many more people out there who are trying to write about their day and reflect but they do not find any time. So, here’s my answer to it.

It’s a really good habit to keep a diary/journal. You’ll see the benefits of it with time, once you develop a habit of self-reflection. We’re too tired or fed up mostly, at the end of the day, to recapitulate the events of the day and think about them.

This 10-15 minute habit will help you do that in a systematic manner and also help you collect all the good memories and work on the loose ends.

Writing a dairy consistently, daily can be hard, but it can be developed into a habit. A diary is, what You feel about some people, Your day and Your memories after the end of the day. So, that’s what dairy is and it is also helpful in building a good memory and improving Your writing. You can be consistent only if, You write daily,

Reflect- When Your day is finished and You are about to go to bed, before You sleep, an hour or half and hour before the sleep, reflect about Your day. How did Your day went? Did it end up good? How were people to You today? How You were to people? Did you finished Your work completely? Come up with these answers and write what You feel about Your day, write Your memories and events that happened, may be positive or negative, write it.

Write Your ideas- When Your reflect and you end up feeling about Yourself, for the way you spent Your day, then come up with ideas to improve Your day from tomorrow and write those ideas down, it maybe waking up at 4 am to exercise and reading an hour more, write it in Your dairy.

Observe and ask- Observe and ask, any type of writing involves observation and curiosity, a writer is who asks questions. Observe Your surroundings, Your work place, Your home and people outside. Observe them and the way they act and the work they do. Ask Yourself questions why do they do it? How are they different from us? Why are they different from us?

Find time- Always find time to reflect aboutYour day and write, as I have written earlier before you go to sleep an hour or half an hour before spend time reflecting about your day and write.
