I've kept a diary for well over 15 years now. I'd recommend:

1. Don't put pressure on yourself to write a lot. I often write a single sentence. If more is on your mind, write more, but most of my entries are a sentence or two, and that's fine, and still very meaningful to look back on. I can't stress the degree to which not putting pressure on myself to write a lot has allowed me to keep doing this, and yet some entries are very long, if I get caught up in it.

2. Build it into your routine. It fits into my morning stuff I'm doing like checking email (and I have a checklist for each morning).

1. What habits did you create to not lose it? Do you always check for it before you go to another room, or keep it on your person, check for it before you leave the house, etc.

2. Did anyone unauthorized ever read it, did it matter to you?

It's electronic. I use an app called Day One.

Looks great, I appreciate it!
