I like to keep everything in one journal, I understand the idea of all the different journals but I think the searchability of a digital journal allows for the ability to keep everything in one place. If anything journals by year are ok. But I would use tags inside on the one journal instead or all the different ones. Having all those journals and organization is a bit cumbersome for many.
I started journaling using the Day One app this year. This video was so helpful and taught be how to use templates! Now I can create my own prompts. Thank you!
Very helpful and inspiring. More importantly, this video sheds light on the kind of nice, caring person you are and how you genuinely want to help your viewers. Keep up the good work and all the best to you in 2022
Thank you so much 😊. I Finally can decide which apps to use, been wanting to try journaling as a Self Love Act and Improving Focus and Productivity. Now.. Lets Begin..
I truly started journaling in the beginning of 2023 and now I’m constantly recording my thoughts, moments and specials events. It truly declutters your mind and people should try it out.
Thanks! I’ve been struggling trying to journal using paper journals for years. I didn’t realize DayOne offered the ability to use multiple journals, and I like how you use separate ones per year, as well as separate ones for fitness. Great ideas like using screen shots from your fitness app. Appreciate you sharing this!
nice video, I do mine on paper mainly but I also use Evernote with quite the same template than Day One, because I'm not only on mac all the time. Then I print to put in with some document of the day, tickets or map.... I also use typewriter the same way (write then sick it on my journal)
Thanks for your video of how you journal with DayOne. Jim Rohn --- the best. Attended his one day workshop in 1991, Washington DC. I still have the notes I took from the class. Love his quotes; still apply them today in my personal and business life.
I like to use a dedicated app where possible. I helps to prevent being distracted by other things. When I am journalling, I am journalling. I don't want to see my note about other things.
Hi Carl, I am kind of power user of Day One. I use the app very similar to you, every morning I start the entry with one headline, and text to the day before. I tried to attached minimum one picture, but in most days more than three. This comes after a little while, when my wife Evelyn said why do you only use one picture every day. There is a saying one picture equals 1000 words. When we are with our grand children, then it will be one video every day, I dictate most of my entries, and I am busy to put in my hand written journals from past year. This will probably be a never ending story, as I have over 70 years to cover. The start for me is my original birth certificate, and on some days, I have over 20 years of content, stories, sometimes links, sometimes photos for me the best option of the journal is “on this day”. Hi share the information with my wife, she will sometimes add some of her thoughts and so I will improve on my content all the time. The app also offers book printing, which I have not tried so far, because I’m afraid of content mistakes.
@@Carl_Pullein Do you know much about the backup that Day One uses? We’re entrusting it with a lot of precious information - I recently came back to it and saw they have switched to using your Apple ID for sync….So wondering if that means it’s now saved into iCloud Drive?
@@DanielHarrisCodes Hi Daniel, As far as I know, all the backups are now stored in iCloud as long as you are a paying customer. If not a paying customer, then the backup (as it exists) is solely kept on your device.
great inspiring tip .... .... cani aome questions about it ? you got me curious .... ... if i would like use it as diary .... could i make and entery on previous years and dates ... i have some notes on some pieces of paper i would love to make it more easy to show to people ,,,, ... where does it saves the entries ... ... our entries can be stored and saved on an HD sorry so many questions ... just like you i love to meke some notes during the day ... Great Video Thanks from Portugal Filipe
This was very helpful, Carl. I downloaded the app after hearing Ali Abdal talk about using this app and now that I've watched your video, I have a better idea of how this could be useful for me.
It's certainly worth developing the habit, Kurt. It's one of my favourite activities of the day. I also did a more recent video on this here: ruclips.net/video/j3HtBz5ea5k/видео.html
My work journal (using Journey) has saved my bacon many times. I've been journaling my daily work tasks for a few years and being able to search for notes on how I did something 11 months ago is fantastic. My big wish, though, is that Journey would allow multiple fonts, styles, outlines, embedded images, etc. However, it does work on OSX/iOS/Windows & web so having it on all the systems I do work from is the important part.
Thanks for the recommendation I’ll check it out - I’ve used the free version of Day One on Mac and iPad but I work on Windows too. Sometimes it’s a pain being so cross platform, if you are 100% all in on Mac, iPad and iPhone it simplifies the choice for software you use. I’ve toyed with the idea of using Windows 365 in the cloud for my Windows machine but I can’t give up my Surface Pro, just love the aspect ratio too much compared to my MacBook Air
I have been journaling with DayOne since 2011, around the time it was released. I like keeping my journal separate from from my note taking app and really love the feature set of DayOne. I could never keep up with a paper journal. Just didn’t work for me.
Thank you so much Carl. Great job encapsulating DayOne. Although my first journal entry into Day One was Aug 7, 2013 I was hit and miss for a few years before actually making it part of every day. With that said I have never created templates and plan to do so thanks to your encouragement and training. Since I too struggled with quitting a hand written journal my question for you is
Thank you Carl it was wery inspirating this video for me I decided severel times I will journal evry day but I could not keeping this promise may be I can change this 2022!
Indeed very helpful and inspiring. After taking a course on your website back in 2019, I feel ready to start journaling now. I'm wondering where this will bring me. It looks like a very interesting addition to the other productivity courses you've set out. Thank you for sharing this.
I’ve been using Day One since 2011, since my very first MacBook. The “On this day” feature is amazing too, and is something that you just can’t get with a physical journal. I really like physical journals, but Day One makes you get way more benefits on keeping the habit of journaling. Really liked the way you use your Journals, divided by year. I divide mine by areas of interest, but not by year. I will give that a shot. Thanks for the tips!! Have a nice day!
@@Carl_Pullein Me too! Although sometimes I`m in the mood of writing something by hand. Whenever I write something, I snap a photo or scan the page to PDF and upload to Day One, just to be remembered on the On This Day Feature. As your entries keep growing along the years, it is a nice step on the morning (or night) routine to take a look on where you were and what you were doing on this day in the past years. It`s really magical! And let me use this opportunity for thanking you for all the work you do in the channel. It really helps a lot. Thanks a lot, Carl! And keep up the always good work! Cheers!!

Great video Carl! I discovered Day One and it may be the best Ap I’ve ever purchased. I’m journaling everyday, with speed and consistency and it makes a huge difference. I scrapped my Hyatt planner and journal, I created a weekly and quarterly review template, just been awesome, I need to set up the folders to store and break up my journals and reports, not sure I can do that on the iPad/phone? We’ll be looking into that.
@@Carl_Pullein Thanks Carl, I’ll be digging into that and will share any insights. Take care out there in Korea, my daughter lived there almost two years, out of college she got a job with a company teaching English, way back in 2012-14, we went there to visit her, great food, great experience. Thought I’d share, take care!
The tasks in Day One are rather habits, so no tasks that are in the task manager or tasks that could be assigned to a project? I asked this in a comment to another video, basically Day One is (among other things) your Habit Tracker? In some apps this is also called "Daily Notes" and means that you assign a note to a specific date (Craft does this for example).
No. Just my morning routines (just to track consistency) Day One is my journal first and foremost. I do use it to keep track of new habits, but once I am consistent I will delete the tracking. No need to add more work than is necessary.
Ok. Journals or daily logs are often recommended for self-reflection. I tried it once in Craft (there you can also link journals directly to tasks from the calendar). I'm sure that's also a habit you have to get into ;)
when i first used the apps, i find it easy to use. However, I will not ever use such digital apps anymore. Becos when there is problem it is so difficult to get someone to troubleshoot, and i ended up unable to access my journals!! Imagine all the notes made for weeks, months ....all inaccessible!! But what is presented here is very useful on how to journal....thanks
Is there a spelling or grammar checker within the ONE A DAY website for the Mac? I can't find one. It doesn't seem to work with any of my extensions either.
I have been interested in Day One but haven't really done much with it as I only have the iPad, at the moment. I'll probably look into it again when I get the new Air, when it comes out. Ta! 👍 I see you have the best possible taste in comedians. 😉
I am still trying to see how journaling helps to get things done. I can see it as a good brainstorming tool, but for some of us that get overwhelmed with email and too many tasks, how are we now supposed to find time to write down how we feel or what we ate for breakfast? I am not being cynical here... just skeptical. I would love to see how journaling leads to better planning and organization. I still cannot envision the connection.
It not about doing more. It’s about having some time for yourself to stop, reflect and think about what you are about to do today is the best thing for you. Life should never be all about work. It should be about you and what you want. And journaling gives you a few moments in the day to think about what you want out of the day.
You add thjr checkboxes from the text formatting icon. To do that will depend on the device you are using. However, if you are using it on your phone, look for the "Aa" icon.
Hi Carl, thank you for your videos, always insightful. I'm curious why you don't take the headings of 'Dayone' and put them in Todoist as a reoccurring task for every day?
Day One is a personal space for me not connected to my work or tasks. Journaling for me is more of a way to meditate. And if I did put those checklists in Todoist they would clutter up my lists and it is very rare I forget to do them. Day One provides me with a record. Todoist would remove the tasks once complete
I was hoping you were going to say how you saved your emphera from your old journal. You had postcards/event cards/etc in your old journal. What did you do to put them into D1? Did you just take photos of that and then toss the original item? I do like D1, I'm new, streak count of 38 (so very new!) but I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the fun stuff I was saving. Stamps, notes from Dad, postcards, etc.
Hi Melissa, I've never come up with a great way to do that. I do take a picture and add that to D1, and then I put the emphera I want to keep in a box in my store room. It's worked so far.
@@Carl_Pullein I am thinking I may have DO print me a book and I might have blank entries which would be a placeholder for postcards or whatnot. Thinking about it. Haven’t done it yet. Would have to be a small book like a month or two I think.
I am sufficiently inspired to start journalling - thanks to you. Are the features in Day One such as Templates available on Android? Thanks in advance.
Absolutely, you can do this in Notes, no problem. The bit I like with DayOne is the "On This Day" feature. I can see what I was doing three or four years ago.
Awesome information, thanks Carl! Do you recommend bullet journaling in Day One or in Evernote? And do you know any good book about the bullet journal method or do you keep it simple like it's shown in the video?
How you journal needs to work for you. Day One and Evernote work excellently- it depends on which you prefer. I would say that keeping things as simple as possible will help you to remain consistent. The more complex it becomes, the more time you need and that will deter you from writing. (Which, after all, is the whole purpose.)
Great video! What are your thoughts on using Evernote instead? It seems like the functionality is pretty much the same, but I am not a current Day One user.
I journal with my fountain pens. I don’t think I can completely let them go! Did you give up analog journaling altogether? I’m not sure how I can fully journal through Day One?.
Hi Kassandra, I too loved my fountain pens and struggled to give them up. I do still keep a notebook handy in case I have the urge to write in pen. However, for journalling, I have gone 100% digital. I wanted to add a photo every day and the only way of doing that was to go digital.
I haven't yet. My plan is to export them as a PDF and then take them to a printer and have them professionally printed out as a book. Just not got round to doing that yet.
@@annmackay8866 Thank you Ann. Are you saying that following your trip you proof and print the entries you made in your journal? If so, how does the quality of the printed journal appear? Thank you so much for your response. Although I have journaled in Day One for years I get into a “rut” and still feel pretty basic in my knowledge.
@@prayertool It is not coffee table book glossy paper but good enough for my purposes. The book is 8.5 x 5 with a stock paper cover and matte paper inside. The colored photo images are okay but more like copy quality. .
@@Carl_Pullein I can always use copy and paste or convert to other format. Just want to know if there is storage allowed to make some old journal. Many thanks!
Keep our memories through journal in digitally is so good for long term thanks i also confused about which journal apps are best had asked to chat gpt and it also suggest me this app in top thanks sir.❤
I started out with the free version first to make sure I remained consistent. I upgraded to the premium version after a year when I wanted to create my own template. So test it out, and when you feel ready for the extra features, you will be able to make a better decision.
I just subscribed to your channel. I enjoy your content. A constructive idea 💡 for you is to zoom in the content more so that folks don’t have to squint to read the content on your screen. Thx!
Thanks for the heads up. I do try to zoom in as much as possible without losing important structure. I've also increased the resolution to 4K to make it much easier for viewers to zoom in if they want to.
I do. I like the sync across all my devices and the iCloud backup support. I cannot remember what the other paid features are, but I am sure I use them LOL
I'm curious why you have different journals for years, exercise, etc. Aren't you able to use tags to search by year, exercise, etc? Also, I know you're a Todoist aficionado. Have you started using this for your daily checklist and to-do list instead of Todoist?
Hi JC, I like the separation of creating a new year journal. Plus, I give each year a colour and use that colour through all my documents. This year's colour is teal :-)
@@maikeru86 Not anymore. I used to write my notes in a Hermes Ulysses A5 notebook. Now they re expensive and fortunately, I only needed to buy a refill once a year. That said the paper in that notebook was gorgeous!
Yes I do. I think it's $20.00 per year. WhenI was buying paper journals, each one of those cost $20.00 and I was using three of those per year. So, I now save $40.00 per year. :-)
Carl, in your video you show on the left side of the page you show calendars and journals. Does that come with the free version or only with the paid version? Thank you.
Hi Carl - great video, journaling is one of the things I'm looking to do more of this year. It might not matter / be accurate, but for lots of the screen sharing your location is visible at the bottom of Day One (feel free to delete this comment if it draws attention to that or it's in-accurate).
Hi Matt, thanks for the heads up. I'd wish anyone trying to find me the very best of luck. The Korean address system is a mystery to all but a very select few LOL.

Did you just take photos of that and then toss the original item? I do like D1, I'm new, streak count of 38 (so very new!) but I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the fun stuff I was saving. Stamps, notes from Dad, postcards, etc.
Hi Melissa, I've never come up with a great way to do that. I do take a picture and add that to D1, and then I put the emphera I want to keep in a box in my store room. It's worked so far.
@@Carl_Pullein I am thinking I may have DO print me a book and I might have blank entries which would be a placeholder for postcards or whatnot. Thinking about it. Haven’t done it yet. Would have to be a small book like a month or two I think.
@@melissmich23 That's a fantastic idea. I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.
I am sufficiently inspired to start journalling - thanks to you. Are the features in Day One such as Templates available on Android? Thanks in advance.
Hi Devan, I'm not sure as I don't have anything Android to test it.
Hi! Which bottle are you using? Thanks
That's a Hydro Flask.
Thanks for sharing
You're very welcome.
Very similar to what the Notes app can do except the calendar right?
Absolutely, you can do this in Notes, no problem. The bit I like with DayOne is the "On This Day" feature. I can see what I was doing three or four years ago.
@@Carl_Pullein thanks!
Awesome information, thanks Carl! Do you recommend bullet journaling in Day One or in Evernote? And do you know any good book about the bullet journal method or do you keep it simple like it's shown in the video?
How you journal needs to work for you. Day One and Evernote work excellently- it depends on which you prefer. I would say that keeping things as simple as possible will help you to remain consistent. The more complex it becomes, the more time you need and that will deter you from writing. (Which, after all, is the whole purpose.)
Great video! What are your thoughts on using Evernote instead? It seems like the functionality is pretty much the same, but I am not a current Day One user.
You're right, Sean. You could use Evernote for journaling. I prefer DayOne. ruclips.net/video/9mpFvpDvBQA/видео.html
I journal with my fountain pens. I don’t think I can completely let them go! Did you give up analog journaling altogether? I’m not sure how I can fully journal through Day One?.
Hi Kassandra, I too loved my fountain pens and struggled to give them up. I do still keep a notebook handy in case I have the urge to write in pen. However, for journalling, I have gone 100% digital. I wanted to add a photo every day and the only way of doing that was to go digital.
….. have you “printed” any of the Day One journals and if so how did they turn out. I am considering doing so. Thank you again.
I haven't yet. My plan is to export them as a PDF and then take them to a printer and have them professionally printed out as a book. Just not got round to doing that yet.
I have printed out Cruise Journals using a tag to get the right entries. I add those entries into a new Journal which I then proof and print.
@@annmackay8866 Thank you Ann. Are you saying that following your trip you proof and print the entries you made in your journal? If so, how does the quality of the printed journal appear? Thank you so much for your response. Although I have journaled in Day One for years I get into a “rut” and still feel pretty basic in my knowledge.
@@prayertool It is not coffee table book glossy paper but good enough for my purposes. The book is 8.5 x 5 with a stock paper cover and matte paper inside. The colored photo images are okay but more like copy quality. .
@@annmackay8866 Thank you so much Ann. Even though I didn’t ask specifically about the glossy paper that was exactly my question. You have a great day
Can I download or transfer the old journal info to Day One please?
That depends on what your old journal is and the formats it will export as.
@@Carl_Pullein I can always use copy and paste or convert to other format. Just want to know if there is storage allowed to make some old journal. Many thanks!
What type of stone is in the necklace you're wearing? Shungite?
Hi Lorraine, it’s made with Black Onyx & Lapis Lazuli. I bought it from Energy Muse.

Keep our memories through journal in digitally is so good for long term thanks i also confused about which journal apps are best had asked to chat gpt and it also suggest me this app in top thanks sir.❤
You're very welcome.
Are you still using Day One or have you switched over to journaling in Notion?
Still using Day One. Never used Notion. Too complicated for me.
Is the premium worth it for just the web version and not the app?
I started out with the free version first to make sure I remained consistent. I upgraded to the premium version after a year when I wanted to create my own template. So test it out, and when you feel ready for the extra features, you will be able to make a better decision.
I just subscribed to your channel. I enjoy your content. A constructive idea 💡 for you is to zoom in the content more so that folks don’t have to squint to read the content on your screen. Thx!
Thanks for the heads up. I do try to zoom in as much as possible without losing important structure. I've also increased the resolution to 4K to make it much easier for viewers to zoom in if they want to.
Carl, the paper journal you held up - what brand is this? Thanks in advance, Chris✌️
It's. Gallery Leather large Desk journal

Hi Carl , I can only get this on my android phone, as I'm on Windows 10 laptop .
Hi Louise, Day One is an Apple only app, I'm afraid. I believe Journey app would work for Android and Windows though.

Do you pay the yearly premium? Is it worth it? I’d prefer free one. Do you have any recommendations?
I do. I like the sync across all my devices and the iCloud backup support. I cannot remember what the other paid features are, but I am sure I use them LOL
As a windows user when I saw only google play, and Mac/app store I disappointed. I hope we have a similar program for windows too.
I'm curious why you have different journals for years, exercise, etc. Aren't you able to use tags to search by year, exercise, etc? Also, I know you're a Todoist aficionado. Have you started using this for your daily checklist and to-do list instead of Todoist?
Hi JC, I like the separation of creating a new year journal. Plus, I give each year a colour and use that colour through all my documents. This year's colour is teal :-)
Carl, what microphone do you use to record audio?
I have two. Both are from Rode. I use their Wireless GO 2 for my headshots and a Procaster mic for my podcast and screencasts.
@@Carl_Pullein Oh, that's very good devices :) Great! Thank You!
Can you group the entries?
How would you like to "group" entries?
What fountain pen did you use?
I used a few but my favourite is a Dunhill Sentry
@@Carl_Pullein Woow! 😱 So unique and expensive... Can you please upload some photos?
Do you have a favoruite papper as well? :) For ex. Clairefontaine? 😌
@@maikeru86 Not anymore. I used to write my notes in a Hermes Ulysses A5 notebook. Now they re expensive and fortunately, I only needed to buy a refill once a year. That said the paper in that notebook was gorgeous!
@@maikeru86 If I get the opportunity, I will.
Carl, great video. My question for you is as follows: do you use the Premium version of Day One?
\
Yes I do. I think it's $20.00 per year. WhenI was buying paper journals, each one of those cost $20.00 and I was using three of those per year. So, I now save $40.00 per year. :-)
Carl, in your video you show on the left side of the page you show calendars and journals. Does that come with the free version or only with the paid version? Thank you.
@@dannysluxurycruisevacation8812 I think that's a paid version feature.
Hi Carl, it was very useful. It contains just a few ideas to adjust my own practice. That’s the beauty of sharing this kind of information:-)
you're very welcome, Mark.
what's the apps name ?
It's in the thumbnail (Day One)
That's some handwritting!
Kuddos!
Hahaha I love writing by hand sometimes :-)
Please Carl, do Q&A someday... It's a lot of thing to ask :-) You are very interesting person!
Hahaha I have thought about that, but living on the other side of world makes it difficult.
@@Carl_Pullein Hmm, Q&A via RUclips ;)
Hi Carl - great video, journaling is one of the things I'm looking to do more of this year. It might not matter / be accurate, but for lots of the screen sharing your location is visible at the bottom of Day One (feel free to delete this comment if it draws attention to that or it's in-accurate).
Hi Matt, thanks for the heads up. I'd wish anyone trying to find me the very best of luck. The Korean address system is a mystery to all but a very select few LOL.
Awesome video :)
Sie sprechen langsam und der Untertitel macht es mir möglich Sie gut zu verstehen. Danke für das Video
Sehr gerne, Friedrich
Your website is not working.
It is now.
Good vid
Thanks, Cosby
I still journal myself in paper notebook
I do sometimes miss the feel of pen on paper when writing my journal.
