Mac and iPhone App Suggestion: I really enjoy keeping a journal. It’s been great this past year to write down a log of my life. Some people like to handwrite their journals, but unfortunately, I have the handwriting of a fourth grader chicken.
If you’re looking to start a journal or are wanting to go digital, I recommend getting Day One. Day One is a great journal application. It’s got a great, simple interface. You can turn on an “inspirational messages” feature that shows you a quote or question that might give you some thoughts on what to write about. You can view your posts by calendar or in a list. Search through your entries, set an alarm to remind yourself to journal, “star” some of your favorite journals or flag them to go back and finish if you get interrupted.
There are many great features and they’re continually updating the app. If you buy the iPhone app, it’ll sync between your Mac and iPhone seamlessly. Also, afraid your hard drive may fail and dont want to lose your info? Day One can also back up your posts to Dropbox or Apple’s iCloud.
Get started on your own journal, and until then, you can enjoy the fake post I wrote for today pictured above. :)
