Journals can help keep on track with goals by documenting your progress with a project or going back to an entry to remember why you’re doing the project in the first place.

Journals are something you can “talk to” that doesn’t judge you on how insane your ideas are and doesn’t talk back (which is my personal favorite aspect of a journal). I personally have issues with writing with pen and paper because sometimes even I can’t read my own handwriting and I have issues with spelling. I also just feel more comfortable writing in front of a computer with a keyboard. I came across Day One and found it suited my needs perfectly. Having it on my iPad means I can pair up my keyboard and go to the quietest place at the moment to go write in peace.
