My Drafts + Day One journaling workflow
Sparky and Stephen's deep dive into journaling on the Mac Power Users podcast episode 762: got me thinking about how I approach this practice. So I thought I would chime in with how I journal.
Here's my workflow:
- Quick capture with Drafts: I use Drafts to write my text entries, it's perfect for capturing fleeting thoughts or brain dumps.
- Monthly organization: My Drafts Monthly Journal keeps everything neatly organized, month by month.
- End-of-month migration: At the month's end, I seamlessly share the entire journal with Day One, preserving my reflections for posterity.
- Day One: I use Day One to add images to my journal. I use it on my iPhone to take photos or import them from my camera roll.
- Daily dose of nostalgia: Day One's “On This Day” feature is my daily dose of happy memories and self-reflection.
This workflow is a part of my daily life. Drafts provides the perfect place for capturing fleeting thoughts, while Day One transforms them into memories I can revisit anytime.
