I am 100% satisfied with the course. Indeed, a lot of pleasant little things were noticed (or appeared?) During this time. And in conjunction with the magic of gratitude, the course is generally a bomb! The Universe didn’t offend me before, but now it’s just really good: what you don’t want, it immediately happens (not yachts, planes, of course, but also very nice): parking spaces are located from the first time; the bosses at work went to a meeting; I won a lottery ticket (100 rubles, but I'm glad), the turbulence in the plane passed by (although it was already announced that it will now be, and the toilets were closed, and everyone was dispersed to their places, but in the end it did not even swing))) And this is only part of all miracles! Even my skeptical relatives are now writing papers with me "Universe, manifest!", Because it works! And if you rejoice in little things, then you will be very lucky! Sincere thanks to Svetlana and Ekaterina!
A personal diary, like a photo album, will help you preserve the brightest pages of your life. Having a computer and access to the Internet, you can keep a diary anywhere in the world.
Do you lead The Diary? Would you like to? If you think that diaries are the lot of schoolchildren or great people only, then you are deeply mistaken. Personal notes have been made by people of all walks of life since time immemorial! For example, the diaries of the people of ancient Babylonia, made on clay tablets, have come down to us. From them now we can judge the way of life in the distant historical past!
Today, scientists unanimously argue that keeping a diary is a very useful activity not only for history, but also for the author himself. First, you can capture (and therefore forever remember) any moments of your life. Secondly, by making notes, you analyze the described situation, thereby enriching your life experience. Thirdly, the diary acts as a kind of "interlocutor" who always "listens" to any of your thoughts and feelings.
Diary methods
Before the advent of the computer, the only way to keep a diary was to write it on paper. It doesn't matter if it was separate sheets folded in a box or a common notebook in a box, the essence was the same ...
The computer also made it possible to create an alternative electronic analogue of a personal diary. At the same time, the development of the Internet also contributed to this matter. Therefore, today we can say that the user has additionally two full-fledged options for keeping a virtual diary: online (using various web services) and offline (using specialized programs).
Supporters of traditionalism still defend the idea that the diary should only be on paper. However, in recent times there are more and more adherents of its electronic counterparts. I suggest you determine for yourself which type of diary you are most impressed with:
As you can see, the main arguments for using a paper diary boil down to the fact that you are free to arrange it as you please and with it you do not need any additional equipment. An electronic diary requires at least a computer (ideally also with the Internet) and is somewhat limited in design tools. At the same time, the virtual diary is much more protected from unauthorized access and the possibility of losing it.
If you decide to start an electronic personal diary, then I offer you several interesting options for its implementation.
Personal diary online
In my opinion, the form of an online service is the most suitable for keeping a simple personal diary. There are several reasons for this:
- good security of the diary from strangers;
- almost ubiquitous access (depending on the availability of the Internet);
- the ability to access the diary from any device that allows you to access the Internet.
The main problem with online diaries is that this concept usually refers to various blogging platforms, in which everyone can read the entries. There are not so many sensible resources on which publications are really confidential. Here are some free Russian-language services that provide you with a personal diary online ...
One of the most interesting projects in the field of online diaries is:
Its uniqueness is that it is an organic hybrid of a diary and social network where you can post public notes, search for like-minded people and communicate with them. In addition to your personal diary, you have at your disposal:
- shared diary (active by default);
- section of audio recordings containing music added by users of the resource;
- daily horoscope.
Immediately after registration, you will be able to write to the "General diary". Entries from it can be publicly available, so the first thing I recommend is to create a new one by opening the "My diary" menu (on the left) and selecting the "Change diary" item. There you can set the name of the new diary, its description, avatar and type of entries. We are choosing a new diary for keeping and now we can be sure that no one will read our personal information.
In the recording editing mode, you have access to the standard options for formatting text, adding images and audio files (there is a built-in player). There are no restrictions on the number of notes per day and their size, so you can put there, at least all volumes of "War and Peace" :)
MyDiary is a rather young project (it has existed for less than a year), so it has not yet gained a lot of audience. However, it looks and works at a very modern level. I think that over the years it will develop and, possibly, acquire some additional functions.
If real confidentiality is important to you, and communication with other people is not of interest to you, then the project may suit you:
This is one of the oldest similar services in Runet, which has existed since 2009. It is decorated very austerely, but has a number of features that will undoubtedly find their connoisseurs:
- the ability to change the color scheme of your diary;
- quick search for notes by keywords;
- calendar navigation;
- the function of exporting records to HTML, XML, TXT or as an archive with all attachments;
- lack of any restrictions.
After registering for this service, I recommend that you immediately visit the "Settings" section from the right menu. Here you can enable the display of the formatting panel for the text of records (with access to direct editing of the HTML code), change the theme of the diary and, if necessary, make some additional settings. After all this, you can go to the "All records" section:
All the notes you made earlier are displayed here, and it is also possible to quickly create a new one. In editing mode, after clicking on the "Advanced" link, you can insert a number of popular emoticons into the text, upload photos (directly or as links to them), post links to media files and arbitrarily change the post publication date.
As you can see, in functional terms, the service is in perfect order. He loses a little only by appearance... However, if you consider that the project is supported by only one single enthusiast, then I think you should not be so critical.
DnevniX.ru
Another interesting, and part-time self-made, personal diary is the DnevniX project:
Here we are also encouraged to keep strictly confidential records in chronological order, however, this is not all! There are three additional functional modules at your personal disposal:
- Diary for records of important matters and events.
- Notes are analogous to sticky reminder stickers.
- A reader that allows you to read PDF files online.
The benefits of the reader are highly questionable, since modern browsers can open PDF documents on their own, but the rest of the modules deserve attention.
The registration procedure for the service is a little confused: if you try to register using a link in the main area, you will be taken to a non-existent page ... Therefore, I recommend registering and authorizing using the sidebar (on the left).
In the "Diary" mode, we have a not particularly functional text entry field, under which all our entries are displayed in chronological order. Alas, there are no additional buttons for inserting sound or video in DnevniX, but there is the possibility of direct editing of the HTML code, due to which you can implement all the missing functions.
The disadvantage of the service is the lack of adaptability of its design, which can create inconveniences when using it on mobile devices, as well as some "inhibition". However, considering additional functions in the form of the same "Notes", then DnevniX may well be recommended as an interesting means of keeping a diary on a stationary PC or laptop.
Diary software
Computer programs for keeping a diary have much more functionality than online services, however, and the interface is often more complex. And most of them are paid ...
More often than not, a diary program looks like a hybrid of a text editor and a calendar. If there is no calendar navigation, then the tree-like organization of notes can be used as an alternative. Programs implemented with a similar principle usually have a simpler interface, but the functionality is also simpler - approximately at the level of a regular Notepad.
Here are some examples of software personal diaries for Windows.
It turns out to be not so easy to find a full-fledged and at the same time free personal diary on a PC ... For this I had to delve into the bowels of the bourgeoisie :) The result of such digging was the iDailyDiary program:
First of all, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that we are still dealing with a slightly reduced functionality version, but its capabilities are more than enough for comfortable work. Among the unavailable functions are:
- spell check;
- rubrication and tree-like style of viewing notes;
- creating stickers;
- creating tables;
- support for emoticons and design styles.
There are a number of minor restrictions on the little things, but you can completely put up with them, since we have at our disposal an almost fully functional text editor with calendar binding, HTML support and full text search! For complete happiness, there is the ability to export records in various text formats, automatic backup, password protection and a Russian-language interface (however, you still need to enable it in the settings).
After installation, the program will start in English. To switch the interface to Russian, go to "View" - "Preferences" - "Languages", select "Russian" from the list and click the "Apply" button. Only the page created by default with a brief instruction on working with iDailyDiary Free will remain in English, which will not hurt to learn if you know English.
If you don’t know the language, I’ll explain a little. To navigate through the records, the program uses the calendar line at the bottom of the working window. Dates containing records will be color-coded (set in Settings). The records themselves in iDailyDiary are called pages. You can create an unlimited number of pages for each day using the dedicated button or the CTRL + T keyboard shortcut. New entries will open as tabs.
Actually, this data is enough for you to get started, and then you will orient yourself along the way. Despite some old-fashioned interface and partially limited functionality, I believe that iDailyDiary Free is almost an ideal program for keeping a personal diary on a PC.
Diary
If you are a supporter of only domestic software, then you may like the Diary program:
This program is only slightly inferior to the one discussed above in terms of functionality, but outwardly it looks much more modern. It allows you to keep an unlimited number of diaries protected (or unprotected) with a password, supports inserting emoticons, images (including background) and attaching any files to notes.
In addition to its main purpose, the program has a number of other functions:
- built-in event scheduler;
- built-in address book;
- note editor;
- the possibility of full-text search;
- import and export of backups.
When you start the Diary, you will be prompted to create a user account with a password. If you set a password for it, then the password for the diary will be optional and vice versa. Although, if you wish, you can password protect both your account and your notes, after which you can start taking notes.
The advantage of the Diary is that it stores all data in the folder in which it was installed. Therefore, the program can be easily transferred to a USB flash drive and used on any computer.
Fans of minimalism can appreciate the program:
This small (only a couple of hundred kilobytes!) portable program can be used, in principle, to keep any notes. However, if you create a new node with the current year as a name in the tree structure in the left sidebar, MemPad will switch to the diary mode and will automatically create new nested pages with the current date by pressing the F6 key or calling the "Journal entry "in the" Page "menu.
The functionality of the note editor is not particularly impressive. All you can do is enter plain unformatted text and insert links to files ("file:" construct) or websites ("http: //" construct). Notes are saved in LST format with the option of password protection and autosave at specified intervals (by default, every 4 minutes).
From additional opportunities its useful to note:
- export of individual records and entire nodes to TXT;
- creating new notes from TXT files;
- setting the font and background color of the node notes;
- full-text search;
- setting anti-boss from the keys.
Advanced users will also find useful the ability to fine-tune the operation of some program templates (for example, setting the date), its behavior and the introduction of additional context menu items by editing various files. For details on these edits, see the MemPad Help.
Specialized diaries
Some users sometimes require more highly specialized writing tools than a regular personal diary. For example, many parents keep a child's development diary, athletes keep a training diary, and some may find a food diary useful ...
In this section, we will look at several programs for keeping specialized diaries.
BabyLog
In almost all maternity hospitals, parents are advised to keep a child's development diary, where they could record changes in any indicators of height, weight, body temperature, etc. If you don't want to write everything by hand in the old fashioned way, you can use a special program:
The program is "sharpened" for keeping a diary of the child's height and weight. According to these parameters, you can build graphs of the dynamics of changes in indicators, compare them with the reference standards of development, print out or simply save in a separate text file.
In addition to physical parameters in Baby Log, you can also take any daily text notes. The volume of these notes is unlimited, but only a small introductory part of the recording will be displayed in the main window. If necessary, you can create several profiles and keep a child's diary for several children at the same time.
If you are engaged in cyclic sports such as running, swimming, skiing, etc., then you have an excellent opportunity to keep a training diary using a program that does not require installation and can work from any carrier:
This application allows you to keep track of the time spent on the distance, the duration of training, the dynamics of changes in loads and many other parameters. For any of the indicators, you can create a graph that will reflect your progress.
The program also allows you to keep track of mistakes made during training, and make arbitrary records. This allows you, as an athlete, to analyze your own results more deeply, identify weaknesses and adjust the plan for further development.
If you yourself do not know what adjustments need to be made to the training schedule in order to achieve the desired result, then using the program you can quite easily export any fragments of your diary, for example, in the format Microsoft Excel, print them and show them to the trainer. By the way, if you are a coach, then the program can help you in monitoring the success of your wards, as it allows you to keep an unlimited number of diaries!
Those who monitor their weight and want to eat properly just need to get an electronic food diary:
This program will allow you not only to keep track of what you eat and drink per day, but also automatically calculates the consumed calories, nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are contained in the products of the database. If necessary, you can independently expand the list of dishes with an indication of all their characteristics.
Through visualization in the form of charts and scales, MerryMeal will allow you to quickly assess the balance of your diet and adjust it if necessary. Based on the results of each day, you can get detailed statistics in the form of graphs and histograms, which allows you to see the qualitative and quantitative dynamics of dietary changes.
In addition, MerryMeal allows you to separately keep statistics on fluid intake, calculate your body mass index and your biorhythms. Add to this the ability to synchronize and back up program data via the Internet and you have an almost perfect power diary for Windows!
Conclusion
For whatever reason you decide to keep a diary, it will definitely benefit you! The diary teaches us to analyze our actions and delve deeper into the essence of what is happening. Accordingly, provided that you draw the correct conclusions, in the future you will be less mistaken in certain situations in which you have already found yourself once!
Start a personal diary, keep it for at least a year, and then re-read it. You will see that during this year you have become much wiser ... Therefore, I wish you all success on the path to self-improvement, and let the diary help you with this!

I think I will not be mistaken if I say that almost every woman kept a diary during her youth. I was no exception. I bought my first notebook for these purposes when I was in the 7th grade. The last entry in another notebook, 159 in a row, was made at the moment when my beloved young man left me in the third month of pregnancy.
At that time I was 25 years old. I didn't try to keep a diary again. Although today there is a temptation to start writing about your life not on paper, but on the Internet, you can find more than a dozen of such sites on the Runet.
But is it worth doing?
Personal diary on the Internet and its dignity
Let's start with the good. What are the advantages of a personal diary that people keep on the Internet?
1. It is not forbidden to ask for help.
2. It is allowed to tell about your personal experience.
3. It is allowed to post photos of your travels and surprise readers.
4. You can find a life partner.
Many things are allowed. Especially such records help out at a time when cats are scratching their souls, and there is no one nearby to whom one could complain and cry.
Then we turn on the computer (laptop), go to the pages of the diary and splash out the accumulated negative emotions. The Internet will tolerate everything.
And most importantly, we get the support of those people who have read the written words and left a comment.
And just typing helps to cope with blues and bad moods. And even if no one sees what is written, that is, it is not intended for public viewing, the soul already becomes easier.
Yes, a private diary on the Internet has many advantages. And most importantly, it does not need to be constantly hidden from prying eyes, either under the bed, or in the closet behind the books, or in another secluded place. It is enough to come up with a more confusing password. And that's it ...
You can write about your exploits, and about love affairs, and about conquered hearts, and about a grumpy mother-in-law, and about everything in the world! And no one will read these records without your knowledge.
Well, except for the moderator of the site where your diary is ... And the administrator of the same site. And the owner, of course.
Personal diary on the Internet and its disadvantages
The biggest drawback of a personal diary on the World Wide Web is that it can be easily read by the site owners and those who maintain it.
Although there is alternative way keeping a diary here too. If, of course, you really want to. It can be kept in the Word, and so that no one can read the records, you need to put a password. Again, more authentic and confused. Here, as long as there is enough imagination.
Another obvious drawback is the possibility of losing your memoirs.
Circumstances may turn out that the owner of the blog site simply forgets or does not want to pay more for hosting, which means that the site will disappear from the World Wide Web forever.
But it will not just disappear, but will capture "into another world" and your records, which are undoubtedly valuable and dear to the heart.
Is there an alternative to this grief? There is. You can start a personal blog. And already on it write your thoughts, memories, and again love affairs. Unless, of course, there is a desire to write the same thing in a notebook.
So is it worth starting a private diary on the Internet? To answer this question, I decided to visit one site, which stores diaries. His address is www.diary.ru. Do not be lazy, visit it too.
I didn't like this site much. And I would not want my entries, that my personal diary with words dear to my heart, was on such a resource. As a result, I did not dare to start keeping my personal diary again ...
Now imagine that your boyfriend accidentally found out that you are keeping an Internet diary. He will do everything to hack and read it.
And he is not ashamed of it. And what if these notes contain something that he really doesn’t like? I think that showdowns here simply cannot be avoided. And a break in relations can also happen.
So is it worth starting a personal diary on the Internet?
If there is such a desire, then the first thing here is to think over everything and weigh the positive and negative aspects.
And already from the one whose side will win, and make a decision.
Although who is thinking about something in our life? We make most decisions at the call of our souls and hearts, and only then, after some time, we begin to understand what mistake we have made.
A personal diary is a very useful thing. Every great person had a diary. Maybe that's why they became great? A diary is a means of self-control. It helps you organize your thoughts and ideas, analyze your actions ... Let's discard philosophy and standard phrases. You will feel the full value of keeping a personal diary (that is, you will feel it, with every cell of the body) in years. It's like a photo album of your life, only hundreds of times more powerful. Get out an old, family photo, or something, a trifle from the past. Yeah, do you feel? Do you want to amplify this feeling many times over? To tears? Surely you tried to start a personal diary once - find it !!!
Over the years, memories are erased, only scraps remain. We are not able to remember everything. The diary will help us. Humanity has not yet come up with another way to preserve thoughts and feelings. First love, first kiss, first disappointment, resentment, hopes, fears ... - all this will keep your personal diary. You will be touched by your naivety, cry and laugh. What about your child's first steps? Personal victories? Convinced to start a diary?
It's never too late to do this. Any age. I know it's hard to force yourself, but you have to. Then say thank you to yourself.
Today you have a huge advantage over the past. Agree, few people want their personal diary to fall into the wrong hands. But it couldn't be easier. Start it on your computer. Close with a password and that's it - no problem. This is where you need the Diary program.
It is simple, lightweight and free program in Russian. You can add photos, pictures and music to your diary. Emphasize emotions with live emoticons. Everything is convenient and with tips. Forward!
Today we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of electronic and paper personal diaries. And to all those who still doubt whether it is worth keeping a personal diary, we suggest reading and.
Paper diary
Advantages
1. You will spend less time on the web
Many of us promise ourselves more time to “live offline”, but what in reality? We are constantly on the Internet at work time even if our job responsibilities do not provide for it. We come home - history repeats itself. We come to visit our parents, decide to meet with friends or just go for a walk - the picture is the same, the Internet is always at hand in our smartphone.
2. A paper diary is always at hand
Interference of the Internet connection, low battery level of the gadget just when you are not at hand charger, or just at home the electricity was cut off so inappropriately. All of these problems you can face when keeping an electronic journal. But sometimes the right thought disappears in a matter of seconds, so you need to act quickly.
A notebook and a pen are always there, and technical problems will never prevent you from writing down the most important things.
3. Your personal diary is truly personal
Yes, of course, an electronic diary can also be made private, closed from prying eyes. But no one canceled the hacking of accounts, accidentally left open tabs on the computer, into which the prying eyes of your household or friends strive to look. You can always carry a paper diary with you and be sure that its contents will not become known to other people.
4. Materiality
You can walk through the pages of a diary, feel the dear and beloved smell of the pages covered with writing, finally, just hold the fruit of your efforts in your hands.
disadvantages
1. A paper diary is easy to lose
Yes, a defenseless paper diary is so easy to lose: forget it on a park bench, accidentally leave it in the subway, drop it out of your backpack during your morning run for a minibus. It can inadvertently be thrown out by one of your family members during the next general cleaning. And if you are a student who likes to write down your thoughts mainly in boring pairs at the university, then you may accidentally forget your vault of secrets in one of the desks in the temple of knowledge.
An electronic diary is more reliable than a paper one. Even if you forget your username or password, you can recover them.
2. You may be just too lazy to write
“Just too lazy to write” is an excuse that can negate the noble desire to replenish your diary with entries every day. Remember how in school and university years after the summer holidays, at the first lesson or the first couple, we said to our classmates or classmates: “I have forgotten how to write over the summer”? It's the same story here.
We are all used to knocking on the keyboard and do not consider it hard work, but many people are just too lazy to take a pen and paper and start writing.
3. Diaries require space in the house
If you are going to keep your diary in good faith, daily replenishing it with full-fledged entries, and not with unsubscriptions, then in a couple of years you will have accumulated several impressive notebooks in volume, for which you will have to look for a place in the house.
In this, the paper diary loses to the electronic one: if the electronic diary is weightless and imperceptible, then its paper analogue is more troublesome.
4. Limited content
In a paper diary, you will collect words from letters, you can even print photos and attach tickets, flyers, calendars and other paper trifles left over from a significant event dear to your heart to your diary.
But you will not be able to insert a GIF, audio or video into your paper diary, which now so accurately reflects your mood.
Electronic diary
Advantages
1. You can share your thoughts with others
This is the advantage of the electronic diary: we can give access to it to other people whose opinion is important to us. In addition, getting a taste, you can make your own blog from a personal diary.
2. An electronic diary cannot be forgotten or lost
A paper diary, as we have already found out above, is very easy to accidentally lose. With electronic, this will not work.
In addition, a paper diary can be accidentally forgotten at home, in the car, or anywhere, and when you need it, it may not be at hand. It's easier with electronic: even if there is no laptop nearby, a smartphone or tablet will do.
3. It cannot be spoiled
You cannot accidentally spill coffee, tea, soda or any other "colorful" liquid on an electronic diary, because of which it will lose its "marketable" appearance. Your favorite pet will not tear and slobber an electronic brainchild, and your child will not turn it into a favorite coloring book.
4. Variety of sites for keeping a diary
Many people use well-known online diary services like LiveJournal. Some people prefer microblogging services such as Tumblr, and short sentence wizards are able to keep a personal diary even on Twitter. Others use Evernote, good old Word, or various diary apps for smartphones.
disadvantages
1. You are addicted to the Internet and gadgets
If you forgot to pay for the Internet, you have problems with the Internet connection, or your gadget decided to take a break and does not want to work in any one, then you will not be able to enter your electronic brainchild.
2. It is easy to "go to someone else's forest"
Setting yourself the task of replenishing your electronic diary with at least one daily new entry, we easily find workarounds - we begin to share other people's records we like, favorite poems and other outsider, but close to us content, without accompanying it with our own thoughts.
On the one hand, we fulfill the task before us of regularly replenishing our diary with entries, and on the other hand, we skip, we do not do the main thing - we don’t share our thoughts and impressions, but we throw out, even if it is dear to our hearts, someone else's content.
3. You can be insincere
If you keep an open electronic diary, then sometimes, without realizing it, you start working for the public, bend your heart and not do the main thing - to share your real thoughts.
4. It can be expensive
You may want to buy a domain name (especially if you plan to turn your personal diary into a blog), the diary application you like may be paid for, plus some resources may have restrictions on media downloads, which you will not be able to get around without a fee.
Each form of journaling has advantages and disadvantages. Summing up, I would like to note that it does not matter whether your diary will be paper or electronic, the main thing is an action, that is, do not throw your diary and regularly replenish it with entries.
What kind of diary do you keep - electronic or paper?
