Thinking of starting a daily journal/diary

Any recommendations what app/site to go for, or is the good old paper and pen still the best way to go?

I do this in the form of a Jekyll blog running on a server on my home network that backs itself up to an encrypted git repo:

With this strategy and a VPN, you're self hosting, storing permanently and privately, and you can access it from anywhere.

I think if you want to share it with us -> digital is the better way

Good ol paper and pen!!!!!

I used mybinder

How’s the experience been?

it is good for fast notes

archive thoughts

maybe that's just not the case

for a diary, but for posts and notes it's fine

Everyone I know uses the 5 min journal (paper and pen) but these are some other good ones off Amazon! https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/learning/best-guided-journals?amp

Could you tell me more about the 5 minute journal?

Ofc! Every day you’re given prompts like:

I am grateful for…

What would make today great?

Highlights of the day

What did I learn today?

The goal is to shift your mind to one of more gratitude and positivity. Reviews are p. Good.

Is this a site or a certain journal that people use? ❀️

It’s an actual physical journal but they might have a digital version. I’ll check!

I'm too old so I've liked to write with pen & paper.
