Here is a list of ways in which people use the Mac and iOS journaling app, Day One. I use the app primarily to record dreams, but I’m also aware that I could be using it better, as especially on the iPhone it’s equipped to snap up information on the fly and help one do something they call micro-journaling, the journaling form of micro-blogging, you know. If one is into this kind of thing. I keep swearing to become a documentarian, but geotagging anything makes me nervous.
I am a proponent of making reasoned impulse purchases for my computers (and your phone is powerful computer, if it’s like mine); I am a tool user, and these are tools with which I live and use everyday, so spending a little money to increase their utility (and my pleasure) is just what one does with investments, and tools. I have little patience for people with $500 phones and $150/mo. phone bills who balk at paying $5 or even $1 for an app that promises to help them do the thing they need to do. Buy from the links above and I’ll get a little kick back, then you can feel all kinds of good.
