I think I honestly prefer either depending on my mood. If I’m feeling more sophisticated, a physical journal would be nice. It’s more hands on, and you can get more creative with it. Though for a digital journaling app, it can be easier for times when I know it’s necessary, but I either don’t have time or enough energy to truly journal in a psychical journal properly.
Depends, if i want important memories i write it in my physical journal. If i’m just journaling my daily thoughts i use a journal app.
i actually prefer journal on my phone i mean i use the one on here and it’s just very easy and it feels more private i like it a lot!
Physical journal, because it’s like it’s own keepsake. Each journal is special for the period of time you have it in your life. Also, I get tired of staring at screens all day and it’s nice to just let the thoughts flow freely onto a piece of paper.
Physical journal. I like it because you get to spend actual time with your thoughts and you don’t just type away on a screen, increasing your screen time. You also wrote slower and remember and reflect what you wrote.
I prefer a journal app rather than a physical journal because not only is it easier, but I don’t have to rely on a physical book to write in when I could type down my feelings or thoughts in the moment.
I prefer a physical journal simply because of the fact that a journal app requires me unlocking my phone and spending time on it, which is something that I’m trying to reduce.
Last year, I would have choose physical journal but since I have A.D.D, it is harder to manage a physical one. Carrying a journal with you all around, feeling insecure when you leaving because people are curiou(they could open and read it) etc. I would choose physical one because actually typing down and sense of holding a pen is more satisfying for me. And i have tried a physical one. I have used it for 1 month, lol. Then never opened and write it. But, I have experiences with some journal apps. They are more accessible, secure, easy to use, quick compare to physical one. So, now, I would choose a journal app rather than a physical journal.
I prefer to use a physical journal because I have the time to write down my thoughts and say how I feel about certain situations.
Physical journal - by my bed - if I don’t put it there I sometimes forget - having it there I remember to journal every day / even if it is few lines - it’s interesting to flick it open and read from a random day and see if I am moving forward Kind regards
