Getting into journaling and leaning digital, what actually kept you consistent?
Hi all. I'm new to journaling and trying to build it into a daily habit, and I keep going back and forth between paper and going digital. I haven't decided which way I should go, so I'd love to hear how people here actually settled it.
For those who went digital, what made you choose it over paper, and do you type or handwrite on a tablet? My main struggle is consistency, so I'm especially curious whether going digital helped you keep showing up, or whether all the apps and features started to feel like a chore and got in the way. I've also seen people mention a hybrid setup where they scan paper pages into something searchable, and I'd love to know if anyone here does that and likes it.
If you don't mind sharing, which app or setup did you actually stick with over time? And the bigger one: why do you journal? I've heard it helps you stay grounded and gives you a place to get thoughts out of your head before they pile up, and I'm curious what it really does for you day to day. Any apps, resources, or prompts that helped you early on would be appreciated.
