other How do you make others write a diary?

[Lord Severus]

I love diary writing and I do it daily just before sleeping.

However, I was recently asked by a senior member of our hospital board on how I encourage or get others to write a diary?

I have been thinking about it for quite a few days with no actionable points coming to my mind.

You guys got any ideas?

Well, I started writing diary at the age of 14 and continued until 21. However, until now I have not encouraged anyone into wiring a diary. However, I believe, if you can give them a purpose, they will certainly write. I started writing because I want to talk about something I could not share with people. Maybe you can tell people to use the diary as a confidante.

I thought about my own intention of making a diary. For me, its serves dual purpose:

1. Since I am in a new phase of life, I want to document my life.

2. Later, I believe this will be a rich source from which I can write a book on my service experience.

I don't think that anyone could encourage me for writing a diary. Why?

Why?

To help you remember the past when you're no longer able to recall those events as vividly as you can now.

We all age, and with age, we forget. But, a 40-year-old diary entry could help you remember or give you more insight on how life once was.

I have never written a diary, if I had I old have probably become a writer as it would build my writing skill. If someone is interested in writing, you can certainly encourage them to start writing a diary.

Sadly, we don't all age. To return to the premise of this thread, I have kept a diary since 1973.

I always remember as a kid, I loved to keep a diary and write all sorts in it from what I got up to that day to everything I enjoyed about my day and all my thoughts.

Unfortunately, unless someone has a strong interest in writing a diary, it can be difficult to push them to start to write a diary.

To encourage others to write a diary, I’d suggest starting with a gentle nudge—like sharing how it helps me process thoughts or memories. I might gift them a cool notebook and pen, making it feel special, or propose a fun challenge, like writing one sentence a day together. It’s all about sparking their curiosity without pushing too hard—let them find their own rhythm!
