When writing in your personal journal you may consider a format for an entry. A date is commonly used to identify the day on which the events described happened. Some people actually include the time with the date and even indicate the weather outside. Yet there are those who place a date at the start of the journal only and the subsequent entries are numbered.
What I've done is similar to the picture shown here. I typically number my entries. I wanted to be unconventional not that it's original but the thing with dated entries is that there are times when you miss days. With a dated entry format, I felt committed to keeping a daily log, and even with my hypergraphia there are days when I don't feel like writing about the remains of the day. Most entries in a dated journal that's updated daily are of mundane events that are pretty routine. With the numbered entry system, you can skip days, months even years and come back to the journal when you feel like it. It's better for people who keep multiple log books or notebooks. I have a notebook for work and several for different creative themes. Which ever works for you is fine.
