I’m pretty much into journaling, whether it’s keeping a physical daily journal in my paper notebook or writing morning pages in another notebook. I started my daily journal as a modified bullet journal and I still keep it that way. In it I keep ideas for digital art projects, resources, things to do that relate to art or things to do around the house, movies to watch, books to read and other items. Unfortunately, I don’t keep up with it daily and, in fact, I only add an entry maybe once a week. My morning pages journal I just began a few weeks ago, and I write in it every morning, quite happily. Click on the links above if you’re not sure what kind of journals these are.
Although I enjoy writing with pen on paper, which has many advantages, I recently found out about a digital journal app that I’ve completely fallen in love with. It’s called DayOne. . It’s digital journal app that can be used with an Android or iphone, with a Mac or Mac tablet and with a web browser, which I mostly use because trying to type on my phone just drives me crazy. If you’ve always wanted to journal but just hate the idea of writing with pen and paper, give DayOne a try. You can do almost any kind of journaling with it. It’s free, but paying $34.99 a year for the premium version gives you so many more options on how to use. Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with DayOne in any way whatsoever, so I get no compensation for touting this product.

Well cousin we have that in common. I also found digital journaling! I find it convenient as I always have my phone in hand and can add thoughts in the moment. I also use a lot of digital art to decorate my pages. My daughter’s both use the paper journals and my granddaughter dabbles a bit in it!
Great, Kitty and good for your daughters and granddaughter! I almost always use the One Day app on my laptop for typing in the entries because I absolutely can’t stand trying to type on my phone. It drives me crazy! If you use an iPhone, the Day One app has a speech-to-text capability. I guess you just record your voice and the app will convert it to text. The developers say that they’re working on that capability for Android phones, which I use. Can’t wait for that to happen!
