Query: Journalling

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

And query for my flist:

Do you journal? If so, what about?

The issue is I have two daily agenda/schedule/calendar books for 2021. One, serviceable one I bought at Staples, which I plan to use as my 'Mom' one with to-do lists, reminders, dentist appointments, etcetera.

The other one is a nice Edward Gorey agenda book that my sister gave me for Christmas and I want to do something with it. It has a lot of nice artwork itself, some of which I've never seen before.

Ideas:

A diary (I've never been very good at keeping a diary but the daily section is small).

A creative journal (for my own poems. Or for things that inspire me or things I like.)

A crafting journal (I have my miniature coffee shop).

I have heard of gratitude journals. I don't know much about them other than the obvious.

Do you have/keep New Year's resolutions?

I suppose I could use it to keep track of resolutions but that seems a bit, well, sad, because I'd like it to be fun and resolutions are always a bit awful.

Anyway, if you do something with a journal or have any ideas about any of this, drop me a comment.

Oh, wow. So a life-long journaler. So, before, you put everything in one place, one notebook?

I have heard of Scrivener. So is that on your phone? I use the memo app on my phone to record things when I'm out and about running errands.

Yes, so there's 'keeping track' and 'working through' and 'storing.'

Before computers I put everything in one composition book....I also had paper week-at-a-glance calendars that I put appointments in.

Scrivener is on my iPad and desktop, but not my phone. I use the memo app to temporarily store things I want to eventually add to Scrivener.
