feelings and progress. Some people record a mix of different things in their
diary. It's up to people what they feel is important to record.
·

What does s/he wish to remember? S/he can write the precious childhood
memories. So, s/he can record, in detail, those moments that fell precious to s/he
and that s/he'll long to recall later on. But while diary one should not write

to find the time to write a dairy entry each day. If s/he is interested in
maintaining a diary, one should try to stick to something of a schedule.
S/he
should write diary around the same time each day. This helps him/her to become
as much as a part of your schedule. But if s/he is busy, then, s/he should not
schedule a date and time. So, s/he should not commit doing so. S/he should plan
which day is flexible to write.
Everyone gets busy
from time-to-time. Ifs/he in a rush, s/he just needs to write a shorter entry. S/he
needs to jot down the bare minimum of her/his feelings and thoughts. S/he
should get out whatever feels most pressing and immediate. S/he can always
record more about an event later in the week when s/he have time. Simply s/he
needs to try to get out the basic details before s/he forgets.
