My own One Day: how keeping a diary helped me chart the rollercoaster of my 20s

I picked this specific date for apparent causes, in fact. It’s the identical date you in all probability have etched into your thoughts, too, if like me you’ve spent the final week devouring Netflix’s new One Day miniseries starring Leo Woodall and Amika Mod. However the fact is I may’ve picked any day of the yr. Because of my trusty bedside journal, I don’t simply have the one One Day to look again on. I’ve 365 — a incontrovertible fact that comes with the fascinating albeit time-consuming benefit of that means I can play this enjoyable again of throwbacks each night time. Say what you need about dwelling on the previous, however for me it’s no marvel nostalgic Gen-Zers are leaping on the journalling prepare. I can categorically say my five-year-diary is the very best £10 I’ve spent in, properly, 5 years.
