Hey folks, for this week’s feature column, I’m pleased to introduce Jeremy Caplan<\/strong>, who writes the excellent Wonder Tools<\/a> newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I last featured Jeremy’s work in January (“9 ways to tame your email<\/a>“), and I enjoyed his recent post on digital journaling so much that I wanted to publish it here as well. It’s certainly inspired me to consider a digital journal myself. Take it away, Jeremy!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I use Day One for journaling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By Jeremy Caplan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day One<\/a><\/strong> is the best simple, easy-to-use, free app for digital journaling. Read on for five of its most valuable features, along with its limitations and alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get your journal printed as a book \ud83d\udcd6<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I like that Day One lets me order a physical book<\/a> with my journal entries. I do it every two years or so. A paper book feels more substantial than a digital file, and I like Day One’s print quality. Books are 5.5″ by 8.5\u201d\u2014they start at $20 for 50 color pages\u2014plus 10 cents per additional page. They\u2019re capped at 400 pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Include audio and video \ud83c\udfa7\ud83c\udfa5<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In years past I used only text in my journals. Now I like the surprise of encountering a little audio or video snippet when I look back on something I may not have fully captured in words. (Day One transcribes the audio into text as well.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
