I have tried the fancy journals before and for me, they never worked.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeremiah W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Umm I really plan to just use this online app for much of my note taking and such, I really like the structure of it and it does me well to just stay with this simple design<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ashveedha W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes I use a very cute planner with all the necessities and a separate journal for writing down my thoughts. It doesn&#39;t mean you have to have a separate one for each, you can just use a normal book. I personally like nice things sooo I invested on a pretty dope planner \ud83d\ude01<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dakshina Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A simple notebook is enough when you begin journaling. Gradually when this habit of yours makes changes in your life, thats when you can choose to invest in a professional journal or planner as per your wish. The notebook you&#39;re maintaining should reflect your thoughts. You should simply analyse your day with a help of a simple notebook initially then switch into a professional one for better looks and you&#39;re offered in the journal or planner on the long run.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Miss N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Personally, I just use the text box they provide on Fabulous because it\u2019s private and no one can snoop through it and it gives me just enough characters to write as I haven\u2019t been much of a writer so I find it hard to think of topics to write about.<br \/>\nIf you just want to choose between the physical notebooks, I would choose something simple and something you would enjoy writing it. I love to use notebooks that are cutesy and adorable but also cheap as I think that if you buy a notebook you love, it will enable you to want to use it. I say that you should go for a cheaper notebook, or even better- go digital.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Monique E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If I have a professional planer I would use that but if I don\u2019t I get whatever journal I like and start writing in there<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Arizona P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A simple notebook. For a while I thought I wanted a more elaborate one, like a bullet journal, but it&#39;s too high maintenance for me. A journal is supposed to be your place to release the tensions, not create more because you&#39;ve got to design this or color-code that, etc.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Shy E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I bought my journal from the MUJI online store. It has Japanese kanji on the front and the color aesthetic is very pretty. I\u2019ve been writing a lot of entries for a few days now because I have so many thoughts. I hope this journal lasts for a while, I will definitely buy more journals from MUJI.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sarah J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use the PAUSE journal by Axel and someone. I love it bc it&#39;s a great combo of prompts and space to just write whatever.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam C.
