The swift development of internet has revolutionised human communication, and facilitates the ‘blog culture’. It is hardly surprising that diary keeping has become a rare activity nowadays — a forsaken habit that brings joy and much needed self-reflections to the modern city lives.
For a frequent blogger, writing a diary may not come naturally. Nor it is as convenient— one cannot ‘attach’ an image as easily as on the internet, for example. Diary is also of a very different nature, it is for the person to treasure rather than for sharing (like blogs). The vital part is that no one would be able to keep up writing a daily routine in repetition — to become a diary keeper, one ought to have thoughts and ideas that are worthy of recording.
‘Simple Diary™’ is a diary, as well as a book. Created by ‘All About Me’ author Philipp Keel, it is a new concept diary. With a structure already in place, one only needs to fill in the date, answer a simple list of multiple choice questions, and exercise a light-hearted dose of imagination and creativity. The author aims to provoke thoughts and encourage the most impatient diary-keeper with the questions, words and illustrations.
On completion, ‘Simple Diary™’ becomes one’s unique creation. One could even share with friends and loved ones. ‘Cloverleaf’ in Volume One comes in six shades, cover with insert and hidden pocket behind. The series continues with Volume Two, Three and possibly more.
