In the era of digital technology, many things have lost their former meaning and are used less frequently. This is a completely natural process, because modern life requires high mobility from a person, and everything that can slow down this movement inevitably loses its relevance. But it also happens that some things fade into the background undeservedly. Today we will talk about diaries and give five reasons why it is too early to write them off.
Phone numbers, addresses and dates
Gadgets surround us everywhere, they contain a colossal part of our life. Phone numbers, postal and e-mail addresses, birthdays and reminders of important dates - storing data in one place is really convenient and practical. But is it safe?
Electronic devices have their own lifespan. What happens if the right information is not at hand at the right time due to a virus or a dead battery? At the very least, it will be inconvenient. The diary is like a cell in a bank, it will keep your important data safe and sound for many years, it is not afraid of the “diseases” of electronic devices.
Business planning
The diary is also good for making to-do lists. Apps are great for this, no doubt, but getting to your electronic records and refreshing your memory of the order of tasks requires more action. Not for nothing that all programs have a reminder function - if things are not of high priority, most likely you will simply forget to enter the application and miss more accurate tasks.
With diaries it’s different, the psychological aspect is important - by crossing out the next item, we put more emotions into the mechanical action, so we feel a stronger sense of completeness and switch to new tasks more easily.
"Eureka!"
Good ideas are like the first snow - they appear suddenly and are often taken by surprise, for example, when you are on the road. In order not to forget visiting thoughts, they can be added to notes on a mobile device. It's just that it's long, tedious, and it's easy to miss details in the process. The diary is much more convenient and pleasant to use - you can make a note, or even a drawing, in a matter of seconds.
business accessory
The diary has been and remains an important accessory in the business sphere. It is hard to imagine any more or less serious meeting or negotiation where the participants would resort to the help of smartphones or laptops to write down an important message. This is distracting and generally unethical towards colleagues.
Do not underestimate the "little things", because they create the big picture. A leather diary in discreet colors combined with a high-quality ballpoint pen is the right detail that will tell about the professional qualities of a person better than many words.
The Notebook
The diary is useful not only in the office space. If desired, it can easily be transformed into a kind of diary, where you can enter everything that your imagination is enough for: thoughts, notes, recipes, sketches, reminders, poems, “Monday” promises, personal records, sports achievements and more. When you run out of blank pages, don't rush to send your diary to the unknown, instead put it on the shelf and leave it there for at least a year. After this time, reopen and reread. We are sure it will give you great pleasure.
