Journaling Just Works

485 readers
4 users here now

A place to discuss anything related to keeping a journal, a diary, a planner, a bullet journal, art/junk journal. Productivity, self-help, mindfulness, memory-keeping, creativity, project management or any other purpose.

Paper and digital alike.

RULES

  1. Be nice. If you need to preach or to hate on anyone, I will show you the door.
  2. Keep it on-topic. Definitely NOT on topic: politics, pornography, bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia.
  3. No ads. Product reviews and critics are welcome, as well as links to your own personal blog and videos provided they’re not product placement and that they are related to journaling.

MODERATORS
 

Are you a beginner, or are you considering if you should start a journal? Ask all your questions here. Are you more experienced? Feel free to share tips, tricks, pictures of your journal, anecdotes. Anything related to keeping a journal is welcome in this weekly thread.

Why a WT?

We’ve a steadily growing community—we’re now 465 members! Welcome to all of you!—but we don’t have that much active members.

My idea is to encourage people in participating more by pushing a weekly theme. It’s an invitation, not an obligation. Feel free to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread ;)

This week theme: Is your journal analog or digital? Both? Or something else entirely?

Are you more of an analog or a digital user? Do you use both without any hesitation? Do you use a dedicated app like, say, DayOne, or a word processor, or a text editor, something like MS Word, LibreOffice or TextEdit?

Do you have an app you love to use? That helps you journaling?

Disclaimer: don't you dare question my amazing illustrator skills. This is a perfectly fine illustration for the weekly thread, one many pro news outlets would envy us :p

I have a Leuchtturm1917 for a bullet journal, but I have a hard time keeping it a daily habit. I use nb on my PCs, but that's more for writing (recipes, etc.)

Real nice brand of notebooks :)

but I have a hard time keeping it a daily habit.

Failing is ok, and part of the process. As long as you're fine with that idea, you're dramatically increasing your chances to keep going back at it. Otherwise, you will feel bad for not doing it, when there is no need to, and you won't want to reopen your notebook. At least, based on my (decades long) personal experience ;)

What is nb?

It's a note-making application. You can view and edit files from a terminal or web browser.
