Kind regards
life is better written in paper as u can write it ur own way – friendly stranger
While journaling app is a nice pick too…..but u it's digital and u may delete the app and will never see ur writings then.

Plus it decrease screen time which adds to the benefits.
so i find more comfortable a journal app, but only because the app i use (daylio) is REALLY good.
When i tried other apps, i found myself using a physical journal again.
It’s better for me using a journal app because i can stick photos as well and i can track days better (having always my phone with me)
Physical: hand written, can be decorated with a lot of things
Digital: cheap, unlimited pages, prompts, interface, small, synced between devices
I would say physical though, I *wAnt* to start a physical journal, but digital is definitely easier to get and considering I don’t have any physical journals, it’s my best bet!
I am a little lazy and the phone is always with me and at hand.
So this way I ashore that I write everyday or almost everyday.
Honestly I still prefere a physical one! It somehow feels more personal I think. There’s something diferent about writing yourself and seeing you handwriting with your own words and feelings.
On the other hand, journal app is always with me, and it is very easy to reach and write there from almost any place.
In the end, I try to combinate it and use both types of journal.📖
It's a very good question, because I was also always thinking about, "why do I prefer the physical one?"
Now I know. I don't really like the screen style, I mean this typing, swiping… I like to touch the paper pages, turn to the next one, that makes me more relaxed ✌🏻
It will save your time.
But as every thing has some prons and cons this too have …. And they are …
You won't have them all next to you like when you sit ideally and you would like to read anything then surely you will like to read it from some book rather than your phone …and also if you write journal in your dairy entry then you may have nice handwriting practice and it will be saved in that book but if you are really a very busy person then i would suggest you to write your journal in aap rather than in a book 📚!!!
~HOPE THAT THIS MAY HELP YOU~
✌️MAY YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY 😌
with a journal app, it kinda helps more on keeping things in place and sometimes gives you different things to jot down!
I take notes on things in apps that I will later want and be able to search. That is where apps shine.
The other interesting fact is that you can add photos on your journal.
This said, i'll be frank: i prefer a physical journal.
For me personally writing on paper is really therapeutic and helps me a lot in putting down my thoughts and experiences in the most honest and spontaneous way. Being a physical activity is great to feel the intention and connection to the reality around.
I don't mind if the writing is less readable or if i make mistakes and scribbles. I honestly think is another great way of being transparent and reflecting how we really feel in that moment.
Furthermore, i am actually more motivated and constant i journaling on paper, because i feel like i can be quicker and more honest with myself.
This said, i use a physical journal and sporadically (when i am out of house or travelling or have more time) the journal app.
This is what feels best for me at the moment, but everyone is different!
I would suggest trying both and taking time to understand which feels better.
Good luck and stay healthy. ♥︎
You can look at it in a year and think "wow, I've come so far"
A physical journal is completely laid out by you, exactly how you want it, but you can get carried out and start adding trackers for everything that you can't find in apps, and then lose track of stuff and feel intimidated by everything you put in, and it's more difficult to delete what you don't want to see, it's also usually possible that people may read it, that's a point expecially if you have anxiety about that.
It really depends on what you want
