diary entry
Daily written reflection
A diary entry is a single dated passage in a personal journal, recording thoughts, events, or reflections from a particular day.
The term emphasizes the discrete, timestamped nature of the writing: I reread old diary entries from high school.
Diary entries range from brief notes to lengthy accounts, typically written for oneself rather than an audience.
