Is keeping a daily diary  one of your New Year’s resolutions?  How many days pass before you desist?

Every December I place my  new desk diary on the writing-table in my bedroom, determined to fill its pristine pages with delightfully disparate descriptions of my  diverse days to delight my descendants.   The reality is that by mid-March I give up and my only diary entries are scribbled appointments in my  pocket diary, backed up by  iCal  dashing between my devices.  I have decided that next year I shall delay the start of writing  in my desk diary until  April 1st so at least different dates have detailed data of my  daily doings.
