This week theme: Where do you journal?

Do you like to write your journal at home, comfortably installed on your desk or maybe on a couch or in the bed? Or do you journal everywhere you go? And how? Do you do it on your phone, or in your journal (that you carry everywhere you go?) or maybe in smaller notebook?

    I will journal out, usually on my laptop. Sometimes I find it convenient to dictate to my phone but I use a lot of punctuation and bullet points so that can be frustrating. I would enjoy journalling with paper, but find carrying a journal to be more hassle than it’s worth. Also, I’m left handed and if I want to journal on the go, paper has never been something I find I can write on well.

      I’ve seen quite a few people using that voice to text thing on their phone. I would not trust it, but that’s just me being paranoid ;)

      Have you tried with a spiral notebook and/or turning the notebook upside down so the spiral are on the opposite side?

        Yeah, it’s a privacy nightmare at best, especially on Android…

        Spirals the other way round does work a bit better for me - I could also see doing my journal digitally with my ipad so that I get to doodle and have more personality in my writing, plus develop my digital handwriting.
