The throne

I am the living WORST at journaling. I'll go through phases where I write every single day, but without fail, I burnout. Here's why: It takes too long! My logic---> I think that if I just write, "it was so funny, and I went to the pool again today"and other such generic and absolutely boring things, my posterity will hate me, and they won't really know anything about the way I interact(ed) with people. So, naturally, I try to write too many details of every little thing. I try to remember conversations, the looks on people's faces, the things running through my head, etc. It can end up taking hours for me to write about just one event in a day! They make for great and really memorable posts [I feel like I'm watching a movie/ reading a screen play of my life when I read them], but I seriously can't afford to spend that much time on journaling alone, especially when I'm busy. So how in Sam Hill am I supposed to keep up with it every day? I want to keep track of my life in photos and journals, but it is so hard for me for some reason.

Also, I write about the same five things every day. It mainly comes down to how I'm doing mentally, physically, emotionally, funny/memorable stories/events of that day, and then what I call The Boy Chronicles. Trust me, you WISH you could read my journal. It is probably comparable to a teeny-bopper's diary, but hey. I'm a blue-blooded female, so get over it. 

Please please PLEASE tell me your journaling tips and tricks and new things to journal about.

Happy Christmas!
