韓国語日記翻訳【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.
일정을 세워도 제대로 지키지 못해서 저를 관리해 보려고 종이 일기를 쓰기 시작했어요.
처음에는 자주 쓰는 걸 잊어버려서 일주일 치를 한꺼번에 몰아서 쓰곤 했죠.
그러다 보니 ‘일기는 도대체 무엇을 위한 걸까?’라는 생각도 들었어요.
그래도 계속 사용하다 보니, 이제는 하루 일정을 관리하는 대신 하루 동안 있었던 일을 정리하기로 했어요.
