What about a diary? Many think diary’s are for young girls and maybe elder people? Wrong! I think thats completely wrong! I write a diary and that is what keeps me on memorizing everything. Now I want to tell you why and especially how I write my diary.
First: I do not write full text at least most of the time not. I write short notes like bullet point lists, but with a little more text. That keeps the diary writing short and organized.
Second: I do not write daily. Maybe it would be better if I did for the coming reasons but I don not cause of the time. I sometimes forget it and sometimes there are just not enough important things to write.
Third: My reasons for writing a diary. Mainly it is so that I reflect on what I did the last days and most important I try to focus on the things which made me happy. The things I can smile about if I think about it. Things which are worth remembering! Bad thoughts are everywhere out there they are in the news, in the streets and in magazines. The great things are most of the time little but much more important to us! Thats why I most of the time take notes of the great things and just sometimes about the bad — it is necessary to also keep the bad notes but do not focus on them!
Fourth: One last point: With this I can remember or look up when something crucial happened — like the death of Michael Jackson — so that I can tell my children when that was (if I ever will need to tell them that).
Thats pretty much it. Focus on the good, reflect and write it down.
Usually I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this article really forced me to do so! Thanks, really nice article.
