I wouldn't worry too much about not keeping a diary Rafi (I too lack the patience!). Paper seems much too fragile a medium for long term archival use. Most diaries will have disintegrated or otherwise been destroyed within a few decades. Computer media such as tapes and disks seem even worse. You raise an interesting issue and I don't know the answer - what do others think? BTW - I assume you've made arrangements with a cryonics provider - its no use having your diary survive a few hundred years if you're not around to use it!
