Because of fine motor control issues I rarely, if ever, write anything with pen/pencil and paper instead I type everything which includes the weekly shopping list but that isn’t too onerous as it is stored in spreadsheet and all I need to do it change a pop-up menu against each line item from No to Yes. There are some other values in that pop-up but basically if I set it to Yes then I plan to purchase the item during my next supermarket visit. Similarly other refinements which make the shopping list spreadsheet very useful.
I have never journaled. DUring my last degree study read an academic paper promoting journalling/reflection in which the authors basically admitted that even those who were regular journallers/reflectors were rubbish at it in reality. I’m also a fan of Saul Bellow and his comment that
Socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living. But the over-examined life makes you wish you were dead.
My closest activity is to keep common place “books” (either Apple Notes, Scrivener entries or more recently Obsidian notes) although I take to heart a comment from Winifred Holtby (writing in the 1920s/1930s and friend of Vera Brittain) that items written in a common place book were erased from one’s memory. USed more as a collection of quotes and ideas than any formal journal.
Everything I type is readily available on all my devices be those be the Mac mini I’m using to type this, the MacBookPro I’m likely to read further comments in this thread, my iPad, or the iPhone that accompanies me everywhere I go. My scribblings are saved up to cloud storage and can be accessed there from whatever device I currently have under my finger tips.
