The ability to properly maintain a diary is formed by years

I have a diary.

He did not appear immediately, and the ability to work with him competently did not come to me overnight. Back in school, I realized that a competent time planning helps you to perform more work every day, manage what others do not have, and not forget about important things.

At schoolgirls, let - and at senior pupils, affairs are not so much, as, for example, at the successful businessman, but nevertheless I tried to imitate adults, making lists of affairs.

Sometimes - was lazy and forgot to do it, sometimes I wrote there some nonsense, but these were my first attempts to learn how to keep a diary.

I really appreciated this successful invention when I had to combine a lot of cases daily: the main work with launching a website, attending a variety of courses and trainings, playing sports and domestic duties.

And after all, I am a girl, so in an unrealistically tight schedule, which I created for myself, it was necessary to find time for personal care, shopping trips and personal life.

I will say at once: do not die under the avalanche of affairs and really achieve good results in all I was helped by the presence of a magic pad.

The dated diary became my friend and assistant.

Drawing up a list of cases and deleting the items I have already completed has become a kind of daily ritual that I fell in love with.

Why do I need to learn how to keep a diary correctly?

If my story did not convince you how useful this is, I recommend you familiarize yourself with the main reasons that encourage people to "waste time on such nonsense"( the words of one of my acquaintances who became an occasional witness of how I work with a diary).

There are at least 5 good reasons for this:

Releasing the head from unnecessary information.

If you are an active person and you need to do a lot in a day, you should not keep all this information in your head. The

Diary will keep it and remind you when you ask it.
Acquires more importance in the eyes of others.

People, leading diaries, are already a priori recognized as successful.
Have time to do a day much more than your brethren without a daily.

Things to do in your spare time: ideas of
Learn how to properly allocate your time to perform certain tasks - without this skill it is difficult to become a successful person.
You are satisfied with how much you managed to do in a day and get motivation for further achievements.

To properly maintain a diary, you need to choose a suitable notebook for yourself

Often the quality of reference depends on which notepad you select for records.

The diaries are of two types:

dated.

They are chosen by business people with a tight schedule, which in a day needs to do a lot of things, hold several meetings, etc.

Even the dated diaries are often bought by people from such professions as a hairdresser, a manicurist, a masseur, etc., to keep a record of customers.
Undated.

Such diaries are chosen for work by people of creative professions, in which one day can be painted to the eyeballs, and the other - to be almost free.

In this case, it does not make sense to leave whole sheets blank, it's easier to arrange the dates yourself.

What is evernote and how to use it productively?

If you have already decided, dated or undated, you need a diary, then pay attention to a few more rules when choosing a notebook:

You should like it externally.

Take a closer look at its cover, the tone of the paper, the color of the dates - all this should look harmonious and be nice to the eye.

Try it also to the touch - you should be nice to touch it.
It should be quality.

If you consider that the diary is bought for at least a year and is used every day, then you should not buy a cheap notebook - by the end of the year it will look awful.
It should be medium or small.

Of course, the volume notebooks look impressive, but keep in mind that you will have to carry this volume with you every day.

Why carry extra weight?

Recently, business people are increasingly abandoning paper notebooks in favor of laptops, tablets and smartphones.

You can quite follow their example, if you like modern technology.

The main mistakes of people who decide to conduct the daily

All you need for quality work is to learn the basic rules and avoid the most common mistakes.

For example:

Inability to analyze information at an early stage.

When writing a to-do list, you should immediately understand how realistic it is to accomplish all tasks, what you need to focus on, what you can sacrifice, to do the main thing, etc.

Here are the 5 basic rules for maintaining a diary:

Select a record system.

Cases that you have to do during the day can be grouped by time, by place of their implementation, by priorities, etc.

I will say from my experience that the most convenient is the temporary principle of classification.
Leave some sheets at the end of the diary( usually manufacturers think through this point) to write down contact details or other important information that should be at hand.
Be sure to single out 1-2 cases that you have in priority and execute which you need, no matter what.

You can select them using a color marker or a regular underscore.
To make every day of your life as efficient as possible, learn to set a time frame in front of each of the list positions and do not violate them.
You cross out what you have already done - it's such a pleasure, I know for myself.☺

Believe me, if you know how to keep the daily, then you will manage much more than all your acquaintances, therefore your way to success will be shorter.
