This may be your best video yet, Carl. I whole heartedly agree! One of my favorite features of Day One is "On This Day". For me, it's a feedback loop to reflect, grow, and improve.
Likewise, reviewing recent journal entries for consistent themes in "lessons learned" helps me with planning my goals. For example, if I see a lot of journal entries with "I regret not spending more time reading", then I know I need to make that a priority this month.
Thank you, Doug. Love that "lessons learned" idea. That will a great resource later.
I've been journaling since I was a kid, on and off. My first diary was when I was 7 years old and it has a few hand-written, scratchy entries. It's cute. I've tried all sorts of journals since then. Art Journaling, Junk journaling, handwriting, the days of Franklin Planners, specialty papers, etc. I do love the feel of the paper book and the doodling I can do in free space but I get FAR more out of Day One. Day One's features of "On This Day" are really helping me to learn about previous entries. The search feature, the tagging features, the daily prompts, all very beneficial. I'm +500 days into my Day One journals. I even have had some of them printed. Love that too, then I stick in postcards and such at the back once printed. I don't use it to just journal, but also you mentioned goals. While maybe not my goals, it does help me with projects such as flower gardening, etc. The voice recording that I can do while on my walk or similar is wonderful. You are right about the morning time! Tea and my iPad. It's perfect.
As much as I like technology, I've found that keeping some things analog, especially for journaling, is better, at least for me. It forces me to slow down my mind to match the speed of my hand. Some might see that as a limitation, but for me, journaling is about self reflection. And something about the simplicity of using pen and paper for a small part of my day when everything is digital makes me feel more grounded and tethered more to the moment and reality. That's just me, though.
So true. I like the convenience of digital, but there's still a little part of me that craves for pen and paper.
I’ve been journaling for years and it’s a daily habit I don’t want to miss. I’m so glad I was keeping a journal when Mum died last December and I’ve been tracking how I’ve coped with that tragedy ever since.
Wow! It’s so nice to capture your feelings and thoughts in the moment.
Hi Carl,
Thanks for sharing.
Agree that a journal is more than capturing things, it's about thoughts, dreams, events & emotions - the good & the bad.
I tried digital and went back to pen/paper - it's more therapeutic for myself.
Yes - I too write mainly the morning , 5-30 minutes for as soon as I have woken up while having my water.
keep up the good work!
Hi Carl, many, many, many thanks for sharing this. I've been trying for many years to maintain a journal, but like you were mentioning, some kind of setback always tends to catch up with you and pull the brakes on your entire life. Journal, task and time management, with all the to do lists, etc. just get tossed overboard until you get hold of yourself again. The only problem is, getting caught up again can be a real nightmare. Your video has inspired me to think a little differently. 🤝
You're very welcome. Journaling is a fantastic way to begin the day. Give yourself ten minutes to enjoy your morning brew, and write down your thoughts.
Great video Carl. I’ve been journaling in Day One since 2012. Great app, great routine/habit. Thanks for the confirmation and encouragement to continue!
Thank you, Ron.
Thank you so much for this video, Carl! it motivated me to go back to my Penzu journal which I had totally neglected and make another entry. I have a hand written journal but i limit myself to mentioning the facts - weather, what I did in the house etc. But I need also to write down my feelings, my goals, my anxiousness in regard to some things I have to do. It is like talking to yourself.
It does feel like that at first, Ulla, but after a while it's feels your journal becomes a friend.
Thank you Carl, one of the best video about journaling I've ever seen! Personally, I have intermittently written my morning journal for the past 3 years since I read the book 'The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. This year, I stopped after about 4 months, but your video has reignited my desire to start writing again!
Thank you, Michele. When I started, it was a bit hit-and-miss. It was when I built it into my morning routines that I began to be more consistent. Sit down with my morning coffee and begin writing. Now it's one of my favourite times of the day. 🙂
Every day
I store it in a word doc and then transfer it to notion as a this day in history. With photos. Used to transfer it to Evernote but hit that 200 mb limit so had to switch to notion. Since 1996. One of the most valuable things I do!
Ps - I don’t always have time to review this day in history but having it there to skim every day is amazing to identify trends in how busy or stressed or just feeling great, remembering peak moments, vacations. Great stuff!
Loved the humor and vunerability in this video - I'm soaking up my 14 year old little best mate, I know the day will come. Going to learn about Day One and get started. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, Raia.
Thank u so much for the video. I’ve watched so many videos on journaling and most of them r about writing w pen and paper. N I just can’t b consistent doing that. But I will try electronically and try to be consistent. I can see how there are many benefits to this.
You're very welcome.
I am a big fan of the Day One app, and I must say that I am loving the B-Roll footage that you added to this video.
Hahaha, thank you.
Excellent vid of the why. Nice one of the newer format too.
Thank you, tim.
I have been thinking about journaling for some time. Your journal first thing advice is great. Just downloaded Day One. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Nice one, Carl! Journaling really is a life changing habbit. I really love the Day One app, I´ve been using it for years. Even when I'm the mood to write by hand I use the scan to pdf function on the app, to take advantage of the On this day feature, even with the things I write on paper. It's really very nice to write on paper, but the you just can beat the benefits to using a digital diary, right?
Cheers!
Agree, completely, Andre.
Without doubt your best video, thank you for the insight. I’ve been journaling for some time and really notice the mental health benefits.
Thank you.
Wonderful video, Carl - inspiring, insightful, and very human. I've long considered starting a journal, but you've convinced me to give it a go!
Thank you and good luck with your journaling.
You should do more B-rolls with Louis ;) The doggie is so cute 😍
I have only recently started journaling. For me it's already the tool, it has to be simple and straightforward, otherwise I don't use it. I find it interesting to reflect on the day and to give myself feedback on what went well or badly and what you can perhaps do better.
But I also find it interesting (and you can certainly use it just for that) to collect ideas that come to mind during the day
Oh yes, I do write. lot of ideas in there. If I like the idea, I'll copy and paste it to my notes.
Great video Carl. From the heart and all the more powerful for that. Not keen on an electronic approach but if it works for you 👍
Absolutely. Always find what works for you.
BRAVO Carl. Excellent video.
Thank you, John. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I’ve been journaling for a couple of years now consistently. I write in the evenings as the kids are asleep. It’s not easy, but its rewarding and like you say helps give perspective. The best advice for someone starting out is to try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Start with a simple sentence or a few words. Even if that’s all you do for a few weeks or months, when you read them back it brings so much of the day back into focus. Little and often is best way to get the habit going..
Completely agree with you there. It's not how much you write; it's about what you write. Weather, who you had lunch or dinner with etc.
Great video, Carl. I've wanted to use a physical notebook to journal, then I thought I wanted to keep it all digital, but then it would take away my handwritten notes because they were in my handwriting. I may start to do this in a physical journal and could certainly insert a photo of my handwritten notes in the Apple Notes app, too.
That's true, Kurt. I still pine for the handwritten journal sometimes.
Great video - thank you! Writer Julia Cameron has a great 'take' on journaling as well - she calls them Morning Pages - I've been writing 3 Pages each morning for 12 years - it really helps! Thank you for all you do, Sir. Cheers from Texas !
You're welcome, Jef.
Watched the video till the end. Honestly I’ve watch many and I tried it few times however I didn’t see benefits. I have no time for it to write down or reflect as you mentioned and I would not like to look at the past or read about awful things that happened in the past (same situation with photos captured). I feel I would never look back. Plus daily life routine, feels everyday entry would be similar thing. Your talk is motivating I think I may give it a try
Journalling isn't for everyone and that's perfectly fine.
Wonderful video. When I journal, it is basically a free flow writing session. I find that I journal in a few different apps, but should consolidate it all down into one location for future searchability.
I do prefer to have all my entries in one place.
Hi Carl! First of all thank you so much. I'm new in daily journaling practice, but I've done the first step. Right now I'm deciding for pen and paper or digital mode.
Funnily enough, I'm transitioning back towards a paper journal. Enjoying the feeling of pen on paper.
Really good Carl. I've started several times and have quite. I'll give it another go.
It’s worth it, Bob. It will be a bit messy at first, but you do get into the flow.
Oh my, what I like this new format :D It just great.
I've starting journalling after your incentive about 2 weeks ago, and for now it's pretty messy 😂
Hahaha glad you like it. It starts out messy , but it becomes a beautiful story.
Great vid! Daylio is another good journalling app. Can add photos, mood, habits etc and track different metrics 😊
It is good to track the metrics.
Great video Carl!
Thank you.
One of your best videos !
Thank you. 🙏
I love your videos Carl. The task that I find hardest are the tasks, that aren’t important right now but for every day they get slightly more important. I can’t think of a good generic example right now, but the simplest thing I can think of is something like mowing the lawn. Is it critical on day 1, no, but for every day you leave it it slightly increases in importance.
So from a procrastination perspective, I find it is easy to say I should do it early., but that gives me too many tasks, in work I have lots of these tasks that needs doing but only critical if I leave them long enough.
Any thoughts of how to prioritise task like that?
Hi Jon, being aware of them is the first step. Once you know they are growing in importance, you've got to stop, look at it and say; "right, I'm doing that today" or "I will do that tomorrow." It's the only way I have found it to work. Being intentional about what you will do today.
@@Carl_Pullein Thank you!
Terrific film Carl🙏. I switched to using my Apple Pencil little while back & finding this an even better experience for me.
That's a great idea, David.
Hi Carl. Like you I love doing this. Like you I see all the reasons why a digital journal is a better option. But like you I love fountain pens and notebooks. How do you express that love of fountain pens now?
I keep a paper notebook next to my desk and use that for brainstorming ideas before they move to a digital format.
Important is to conduct reviews on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis to gain insights. Additionally, it's also possible to document events as they happen, not just in the morning and evening.
Ah, yes, true. I prefer to just give my journal 10 minutes a day. That keeps it enjoyable, and I love the anticipation of writing. If it becomes more than that it will lose that sense of uniqueness and become a chore.
Does day one store the media locally to the device? That would be an issue
It does. If you have a subscription, it is stored in the cloud.
What pen are you holding in your hand in the video thumbnail?
I am a lover and even a collector of fountain pens, so I always pay attention to it :)
That’s a Alfred Dunhill Sentryman fountain pen.
@@Carl_Pullein Oh! It looks fabulous! Pity that I'll never be afford for that luxury product 🤷🏻♂️
❤❤
Which model is that gorgeous tablet/laptop? I want it now! Anybody who knows this brand and model?
Oh, that's an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard.

Thank you! DayOne or Journey or...?
I've only ever used Day One. It does the trick for me.
I don’t get the appeal of journaling. If you don’t mind me saying so, to me it sounds like an awful waste of time. That said, I did try some creative writing in the past and found it quite therapeutic.
Hi Mike, journaling can be different things for different people. For me, it shows me patterns of behaviour that I can use to change bad habits into good ones and all the reasons I mentioned in the video.
