Question

Should I use a pen or a pencil?

Community Answer

It's up to you! But if you make a mistake when writing, it is easier to write in a good quality pencil so that you can rub it out.

Question

Can I write the diary in a different language?

Community Answer

If you know a second language, or want to make one up, go ahead! It's your diary! As long as you can read it again later, it's fine.

Question

What can I do if I feel like someone's watching me when writing in my diary?

Community Answer

Make sure you're writing in a very private place, such as under the covers in your bed. You could also find a place that nobody knows about. I have a corner in my room that has some of my favorite things in it. It's private, and it gets me inspired if I don't know what to write about. Also, hide your diary so nobody can read it when you're not writing!

Question

How can I get a good diary in bookstores in Cambodia?

Community Answer

We do not know what bookstores in Cambodia are like. However, if you're not satisfied with the options you find there, you can always order one online. You can also just get a regular notebook and use it as a diary, or even make one yourself .

Try stores like Amazon and Walmart, or specialty stationery stores or auction sites like eBay. All of these will carry diaries. For quirkier diaries with handmade elements, try Etsy.

Question

How can I avoid forgetting to write each day?

Community Answer

Experts say it takes anywhere from three weeks to two months to develop a new habit, depending on the complexity of the task. Until this time, put a reminder on your device or a sticky note somewhere to remind you. It can also help if you do it at around the same time every day as part of your routine.

Question

Do you always have to write in your diary?

Olive Zhang

Community Answer

Not really. Don't feel bad if you miss a few days, weeks, or even months! Dairies are ways of relaxing and reflecting on yourself, but you don't have to write every day!

Question

How can I make my diary beautiful even though I am not an artistic person?

Hannah Madden

Community Answer

Try covering the front and back of your diary in patterned paper. Simply use craft glue or Mod Podge to attach a sheet to the front and the back, then let it dry. Or, bedazzle your diary using glue and sequins for a fun, sparkly cover.

Of course! Use different material for your diary to spice things up. Try using stickers, photographs, quick sketches, paintings, and so forth to make your everyday entries more interesting.
