中国語日記翻訳【23】
I started keeping a paper journal to manage myself because, even though I set a schedule, I couldn’t stick to it. In the beginning, I often forgot to write, so I ended up writing a week’s worth of entries all at once. This made me wonder, “What is a journal for?” However, I continued using it, and now I’ve decided to summarize what happens each day instead of managing my daily schedule.
因为虽然我制定了计划，但却总是坚持不下来，所以我开始用纸质日记来管理自己。
刚开始的时候我常常忘记写，结果就一次性补上一整周的内容。
这让我不禁思考：“日记到底是用来做什么的呢？”
不过我还是继续用了下去，现在我决定不再管理每天的行程，而是改为总结每天发生的事情。
