The benefits of journaling are incredible, and when you add the digital element, it gets so much better. Daily journaling can help you keep track of new habits and realize goals you want to achieve. Make your life healthier by reducing stress through meditation and tackle bad habits like smoking.
Start Tracking with our Paperlike Journal. With a digital journal, you can write from anywhere on your iPad, iPhone or MacBook, because you can sync the notes app between devices. Bringing your journaling into the digital world makes creating, organizing, and finding important information a piece of cake. With interactive PDF files you can navigate within your document simply by tapping on the right spot.
Modify the Mood Legend to give your personal interpretation of the emojis. There might be specific feelings you want to track more, so you can cross out our proposed mood and write your own interpretation of it. Use the space next to the Mood Legend to add your own daily cues.
For example, the bullet journaling method. Have a look at the screenshot. We care about your privacy. If you've journalled before, or this is your first ever journal, we hope you find useful tips here. If you have any feedback please fill out the contact form below. I also share a couple of spreads I have created through the years. A digital bullet journal is an interactive notebook used on the iPad.
The planner has links called hyperlinks. When you click on a link the planner takes you to a specific page on the planner. For example, look at the image below. The pink arrows point to the parts of the planner that are interactive.
When you click on the one of the tabs or bullet point you are automatically taken to a specific page of the planner. Check out the video below to learn how I decorate and edit my digital planner. You can watch all my plan-with-me videos on my YouTube channel. Some of my favorite features about digital planning in the iPad: the undo button, the ability to resize images, being able to change the color of my handwriting, and adding different fonts to my planner.

I receive a small commission for purchases made through links in this blog post. Thank you for your support. The image below shows the first two pages of my digital bullet journal in the GoodNotes app. On the left page, I love putting images that make me smile or that are pretty.
On the right page you will find the index. If you zoom in you will notice that on the left margin there are numbers. When I click on a number the app automatically takes me to a specific page on the planner. The image below was the first digital bullet journal spread I ever created. I love the way the spread turned out. It allowed me to explore how I wanted my designs to look digitally.
The quote at the bottom right says:. These are the key shortcuts I use on my digital bullet journal. They help organize my ideas and thoughts. I try to keep the key to a minimum of five or six things to easily remember what each symbol represents. Day One exploits all the technological advantages you would expect in a digital journal: I can use my Mac, iPhone, or iPad to log pictures, videos, notes, audio snippets, and locations. I can even dictate a journal entry from my Apple Watch.
I can know what the weather was like that day, I can know where I was when I wrote that entry, I can know how many miles I walked at the time of the entry, I can export my entire journal as a Plain Text file or PDF that will be readable 20 years from now, and I can even order a printed book of all my journal entries. And if you want to discover how to use this app more regularly, and take full advantage of all its features, then we have some video screencasts that can help you.
In our course, Day One in Depth , you get 8 video screencasts that will take you line by line through every feature, setting, preference, and option found in Day One. You will get bonus tips, workflows, and tutorials for how best to use Day One to suit your own needs: from a morning writing time to a photographic travel log, to weekly reviews and productivity journaling — Day One can do it all and we will show you how. When you open Day One on your iPhone, its main menu screen or the sidebar on the iPad has three prominent buttons for adding a quick photo, audio, or text entry.
This encourages you to consider that creating a new journal entry using a photo or an audio snippet is just as legitimate as a text entry. Day One is very smart when it comes to adding photos. Say you snapped a picture yesterday when you were out to lunch with some friends.
If you use that picture to create a new journal entry, Day One will automatically use the date, time, and location of that photo to appropriately date your journal entry even the past weather for that time and place is added to the entry. Plus, the latest photo features include the creation of photo grids: If you create a journal entry with multiple photos, Day One will automatically organize them into a collection grid to better show off your photographic chops in your journal.
Pictures can be added from the iOS photos app with the Day One extension. Simply select a photo and tap the Day One icon. If the photo has location data, it will be pulled automatically. If not, it can be added manually before being sent to the app. Additional information about weather, location, and more is added with little or no effort, and it makes the entry far more valuable. This is one of the most significant reasons I find Day One to be the best. The latest updates to Day One have made videos first-class citizens alongside photos — if you can shoot and add a photo to Day One, you can shoot and add a video to Day One in the same manner.
I tend to add videos right from the Camera Roll. This generally takes a minute or two for one-minute long videos and prepares the video to autoplay in an entry which you can turn off in the settings.
And if your entry includes more than one video, Day One nicely formats the videos to display in a gallery. Like any other photo or audio snippet, you can head way back in the past and add old videos to your Day One. This is a pure treasure to me — any of those videos you shot of your kids taking their first steps or saying their first words can be added to Day One, regardless of when they happened. Video adds a whole new dimension to Day One and is a logical progression from photo and audio snippet entries.
With video, all the most important medium types are available to be added to a journal entry. Audio, video, photo, text, PDF, scan, and all the associated metadata can be added to your entries, allowing you the ultimate flexibility in crafting your entries.
Transcription audio snippets are limited to five-minute segments and are transcribed by Apple as soon as you hit the stop button. Once the transcription has completed, you can start another one minute recording to continue your entry.
This can be done up to ten times per entry. Audio-Only: In audio-only mode, audio entries can skip over the five-minute limitation and extend your audio snippets up to three hours. By nature of being a date-based journaling app, Day One is extremely typographic-centric.
Its design is well-done, showing dates, titles, locations, entry titles, entry text, and more in a clear, legible, and beautiful manner. Speaking of typography, Day One supports Markdown and advanced Markdown, including tables and dynamic code blocks.
If you want to be regimented about your Day One entries as opposed to writing whenever the mood strikes you , Day One can remind you to punch in. These reminders can be as often as every 15 minutes or as infrequently as once per week.
If, like my pal Chris Bowler , you use Day One as your daily work log or the place for your end-of-day brain dump , then setting a daily reminder just a few minutes before the end of the work day could prove helpful. You can also set reminders on the iPhone and iPad apps. Slide the notification and Day One opens to a new, blank journal entry.
Daily Prompts are scattered throughout the Day One app, ensuring you have no excuse to tap into an external source of inspiration whenever necessary. Daily Prompts are pre-programmed questions that you can answer and which result in a specially formatted entry to bring out some color in your Day One. You can access Daily Prompts throughout the app.
This menu houses your most-used templates, entry types, Today feed, and a Daily Prompt. Finally, you can also create a specific Day One widget on iOS devices that provides three different Daily Prompt widget sizes. Using the widget, you can answer any of the Daily Prompts right from the home-screen. Generally, this was done by creating templates inside an app like Launch Center Pro or Drafts, where you could automate the creation of entries to log specific aspects of your life. Now, Day One includes this functionality right inside the app.
Inside the menu, there are ten different pre-created templates to provide some inspiration for logging-type entries, or you can create your own custom template through the New Template button. This makes quote capture incredibly quick and efficient, which is required given the unpredictable nature of kids. Day One has a plethora of awesome organizational features, from the aforementioned tags an increasingly popular organizational feature we love here at The Sweet Setup through to the ability to create multiple journals.
