We have very few diaries from the Middle Ages. They were not usually considered important enough to be preserved because they would have had to be copied by hand, and the idea that ordinary people had importance to history was not really developed until the 19th century.
What we have is usually more like collections of writings, compiled after the person writing the diary died. These are usually arranged according to the ideas of the compiler, and pages thought to have little significance were left out.
There are a very few medieval diaries that exist in their original form, ordered by date. These look pretty much like modern diaries. One is called Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris, and covers an anonymous writers views of events in Paris from 1405 to 1449.
