Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vito" data-source="post: 468970" data-attributes="member: 13">I used to use a DayTimer, then a Franklin Planner. Did it for years. A lot of what would pass for a diary was contained in there, in the sense that it was a very accurate, very detailed record of what I did, everyone with whom I interacted (and what happened in those interactions), and in many cases my detailed observations about the people and events, and what I learned from them. I recently threw them all away; too much old baggage. It was an incredibly liberating experience. I don't condemn anyone who keeps a journal, but it's not something I want to do any more. For me, the record of my life should be in what I do...what I accomplish, not in what I say about myself.Besides, the self is a fiction anyway. If I wrote about it I might actually read it, and that's always a risky business. I'd prefer to avoid the danger that I might start believing my own press. :mrgreen: <img src="https://i.servimg.com/u/f84/11/87/59/00/newjok10.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
