![]() ![]() No matter how you journal, Day One can be basic or it can be complex it just depends on how you want to use it. Day One has replaced Evernote and OneNote for me. When you’re ready to turn it in, export it to PDF and submit. Start it on your computer, then work on it on your iPad or phone at lunch. This idea could also work if you have a school paper or notes. Export for Other Purposesįor this post, I wrote my draft in Day One and exported it to HTML and copy/pasted it into the GeekMom system. When my trip is over, I can send it off to be published and kill two birds with one stone. With my upcoming Disney Cruise on the horizon, I have a feeling I’ll be expanding my journal entry into a photo album to go along with my writing. The other day I realized what I essentially have is a digital Midori (something that GeekDad Jules is in love with). I’m not as religious about filling this one out, but I’m working on finding a template that will make it easier for me. Someone suggested I keep a gratitude and positive thoughts journal, so I have one dedicated to that in Day One. There are also times when I can’t write in my app (like at work), so I save my thoughts to a text file and e-mail it to myself so I can copy/paste it into my journal at a later time. I give the entry a few tags and that helps me find it later. When I feel like writing on paper instead of on one of my devices, I take a picture of my written journal and then upload it into my Day One so it’s backed up. Sometimes I may write something on social media that I want in my journal, so I have IFTTT set to sync all my Facebook and Instagram posts (one way) to my main journal and if I find one in my journal I might not particularly want in there (maybe I asked a question or just made a random observation) then I delete it from my journal. I use tags in each entry to help with searching. I keep a separate journal for each of my projects and classes, and then I keep another journal dedicated to my GeekMom writing and another for personal reflection.
