Great thread! I also keep a journal but only when on holidays overseas. One habit we also share is keeping ephemera - for example a soft drink label, cards from various places we ate at, travel and admission tickets etc. Just a question about the fountain pen you take with you. does it work as regular pen? Simply pop in an ink cartridge and start writing or something more complicated? |

I'd gotten some advice that states that you can build your memory by writing the events of the day. Writing things now to remember later helps embed these thoughts into your concious memory and then later writing the events of the day forces you to recall and then think about them as you write - thereby cementing them into your memory a bit more.
Since I am known to have a poor memory I am going to try it for a month and see if it helps. Through work I am required to use this daily planner (old pocket dump photo) (There's a Montblanc mechanical pencil in that planner now) and now am closing each day with a summation of the small things happened during the day and their results. It's not exactly a journal but it's a start towards documenting significant actions or occurances on a daily basis.

Man I am so glad to find this thread! I don't have a strict journal routine but rather write down random thoughts and musings; about stuff happening in my life, my life philosophies, and life injustices I see every day! And also personal achievements and happy memories that I love to collect. I read it helps with depression, which unfortunately I put on in fits.
A beautiful fountain pen and journal (I use moleskine) adds that little bit of pleasure. It's not homework, it's something one enjoys and take time to enjoy. I used to keep track of this stuff on the computer and even mobile phone 'notepads' which was horrible! I do worry that by using non-permanent ink that the writings will fade or subject to water hazard. Made my day this thread, Cheers! |

*Puts up hand*
I journal/diary, and I also blog (see signature). It was my blog that was featured in this forum *is proud* and which also led me to joining here. *hi!!* I fill in my journal with a fountain pen or a dip-pen, and I sign the end of each entry in English and with my Chinese name-chop. |
