Digital: My main digital journal is in Day One. I’ve tried different journaling software over the years and this is by far the easiest to use and offers the kind of features I want (ability to create and encrypt different journals, tags, easy to set up and maintain, and looks nice). I’ve also used the undated digital bullet journal from Boho Berry,...
Pros:
Hand-writing is powerful. Studies have shown we remember morewhen we write by hand and, because it takes longer, it makes us slow down and process what we’re writing. Personally, I love writing things down by hand—an opportunity that is becoming more and more scarce these days! I’m not a huge fan of my handwriting, but it’s legible, I love the feeling of pen and paper and there is nothing more satisfying than crossing something off a hand-written list (a tap on a screen just doesn’t compare)...
Cons:
If I lose my bullet journal? Sad times. I could probably recreate the most important parts, but there is a lot in there that I might not get back. There are ways around this (for example, taking photos of the most important Collections and storing backups in Day One), but it would still be a huge pain in the backside to lose my notebook. Not to mention that there is a lot of personal information inside. It wouldn’t be life-shattering if someone else found and read it, but it would definitely...
Pros:
Less clutter As I already mentioned, one of the biggest advantages of digital journaling is less clutter. While I love the act of writing by hand, the notebooks quickly stack up and, in a small apartment, take up valuable shelf/cupboard space. I have experimented in the past with going through and scanning each page of a notebook before shredding and trashing it, but this is time-consuming and it’s still hard to archive the page images in a way that is easy to refer back to later. As I use Da...
Cons:
Software limitations, bugs, and inflexibility This is probably the biggest drawback of digital journaling for me. I like Day One because it gives you lots of flexibility to set it up how you want and make it your own. This isn’t the case with all apps though. I’ve found I eventually become frustrated with the rigidity and limitations that come with using software designed for a specific purpose rather than the blank canvas of a notebook and pen. This is especially the case for digital bullet...
