I am looking to start getting into this. But I have never enjoyed writing. I also feel a little iffy knowing that my diaries are sitting around somewhere in my room and my family can find it at any moment. If I were to type it would be faster, more secure as I can encrypt it, and it would not get lost as easily as I can upload the encrypted file to a cloud.
However, is typing any less effective at making you feel better than writing?
i dont consistently journal but when i do it's in a spreadsheet, because usually i'm trying to track multiple variables and see if there's any discernible correlations or patterns.
dream journals are in a notepad app
i like the encryption and the ability to Ctrl-F and sort and data wrangle. also don't have to struggle to read my own handwriting
