I've been researching several journal app features and found the digital one I like the most.
Day One is an award-winning journal app across IOS devices and is also available for Android. Reviews call it a private digital space for journaling that "feels almost sacred."
Day One offers multi-functional journal options for free-form and long-form journaling, plus 1 sentence, 1 photo, 1 drawing, or 1 audio entry.
Pros:
Allows for 1-click entry creation.
Includes prompts if you're struggling to write or staring at a blank page.
Able to print your journal into a hardcover or paperback book.
Cons:
It's not perfect - no web app version; only available on mobile.
The quality of the Android app is not as good as the IOS version.
The desktop app is only on macOS; no Windows version is available.
How do you choose the best journal app for you?
Maybe it's not only the app. Perhaps a combination of an app and a journal prompt works best.
Micro-Journaling for Consistent Mindfulness
One way to keep the journal habit simple and consistent is through micro-journaling.
Micro-journaling includes reflection time with 1 journal prompt and 1 sentence journaling that you can do in 3-7 minutes daily.
Want to Learn More?
I want to help demystify mindfulness through consistent micro-journaling - 1 sentence, 1 drawing, 1 doodle, or 1 photograph at a time.
I'll offer a free, 14-day journaling challenge with a different daily journal prompt to help you practice consistent mindfulness through micro-journaling.
