\nentry. However, we are going to try to give you some basic tips so as to get
\nyou started in no time. None of those tips is mandatory, just make of them what
\nyou wish and take some inspiration to just get started. You will know on your
\nown what to do from there\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

1.
\nA few basic questions <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Regardless of the style you chose for your diary, it
\nwill help to ask yourself some questions before actually writing anything down.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>What happened today in your life? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>Do you have some future dreams you might want to talk
\nabout?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>Are you thinking of travelling?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>Is there some project you are working on?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>What is happening in your love life?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>Do you feel like talking about your family and friends?<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have your thoughts focused on something, just
\nstart writing it down.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.
\nA journaling prompt is a good idea<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Lack of inspiration, anyone? No problem! If you can\u2019t
\nmake your mind up about what to write exactly, try some journaling prompt: most
\nlikely, they will help you get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>What the very first thing that you can remember?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>What did you like\/dislike in school, and why?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>Describe your first kiss, and the feelings it
\ntriggered in you<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>What is your darkest secret?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7     
\n<\/span><\/span>Who is the most important person in your life?<\/span> <\/p>\n

3.
\nTime for writing is there, if you make it<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

If you have a set time to write, you will be able to
\nplan in your mind what is worth writing about and what not throughout the day.
\nAlso, this way you will begin looking forward to it, and enhance the chances of
\nmaking a habit out of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.
\nWrite, write and\u2026 Write!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

You can always write too little, but you can never
\nwrite too much. The more you write, the more you will feel like it. As in many
\nthings in life, the first few times you might need to force yourself, but soon
\nenough it will turn into a fun activity and you will know exactly what to do,
\nnaturally.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.
\nWrite the letters you have never sent<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

How many times you wish you wrote to someone, but
\nfailed to do so? Think back to those moments and do write what you wanted to
\nsay. It doesn\u2019t matter if they these letters will never be sent: what really matters
\nis that you wrote them, eventually. There is no need for a specific recipient,
\neither: they can be letters to your future self or to some lost love.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.
\nWho said your view is the only one?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

You can feel free to try and describe an event from
\ndifferent perspectives, such as parents\u2019, or some of your friends\u2019. Putting
\nyourself in somebody else\u2019s shoes, even if just for the duration of your entry,
\ncan help you see things differently, and is a healthy practice. <\/span><\/p>\n

7.
\nAttach pictures to your memories<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and
\nyour diary should definitely feature some. Diaro can easily import pictures
\nfrom your phone and place them in your entry, forever safe and secure for you
\nto see later. A picture is a great starting point for an entry, or the perfect
\nconclusion for it, as long as it is there. <\/span><\/p>\n

8.
\nYour diary, your stream of consciousness<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Do you feel the urge to write down a concept, a poem
\nor just a crazy idea? Sometimes you just need a word, other times you might
\nwant to write for hours: just do it. Never fight the urge to write down your
\ninner feelings, you will certainly feel much better after storing your memories
\naway. Nobody can tell you what is right and what is wrong, so just write,
\nwhenever you feel like it, for as long as you want.<\/span><\/p>\n
