Some writers put entries according to the date, but some prefer short titles to each entry. For better results, the writer should adhere to the following tips to make the entries: « Adiary is for personal use of the writer. S/he doesn’t show it to anybody until s/he wants to do so. The writer should mark the entries honestly. S/he should put in all the positives and negatives in the entry. «The writer should not worry for spellings or grammatical mistakes. It is for personal use only. Think for few minutes before marking the entry, then write quickly without inhibition. Jot down everything that comes to mind. «A diary is a means of preserving moments. The writer should include detailed information in the entry because human memory is short lived, and the writer can forget the moments after few days. Hence s/he should mark complete information in the entry. + Many people write diary on daily basis, but some do not find enough time to do so. Make a regular schedule to write the diary. One should make diary writing 2 part of daily routine. © Try to keep the entry short as far as possible, but it should not be at the cost of completeness. © The handwriting should be intelligible. It should be neat and clean. © Use proper format to mark the entry. * Put in the signature or initials at the end of the entry. * Use simple past, present perfect, or future tense in the sentences. _$__ Scanned with CamScannerEnglish ry oa | ais) Example.
