Rec | MY ANALOG JOURNAL

I’m so hooked on the aesthetics of analog journaling content, but there’s a part of me that thinks I’ll never pick up some old journal to reread what I wrote and reflect. Also, hand cramps from writing suck. My phone, on the other hand, I (unfortunately) pick up all the time, every day. It’s the easiest way, for me, to get thoughts and ideas down and reflect on how I’m feeling even when I think my emotions are flat or singular. I’ve used Day One before and I like that I can use it from any device and it'll remind you about what you wrote on that same day however many years ago, but I feel like they paywall too much of the app’s functionality. For now I’m using Apple’s Journal app. I wish I could access it from other devices, but I get why I can't, privacy and whatnot. However you choose to do it, reflecting on your thoughts, emotions, or just what you did that day or want to do tomorrow feels pretty freeing

journaling (i keep 4)

I am a pretty obsessive documenter. I seem to have bad memory, which got me into keeping record of things as much as i can. I’ll be taking photos on my iphone, videos on my camcorder (for onion vlogs i make every month), and i keep FOUR diaries with all different purposes. 1: sorta like a gratitude journal. Simple bullet points of things i “liked, lacked, learned, longed for” and thank yous. 2: a “throw up” notebook where i throw up all my thoughts. 3: a simple scheduler thats a weekly format hobonichi. 4: an hourly day-to-day diary that i fill up retroactively to learn any patterns and habits. Kinda like self-research.
