Should I journal online or on paper?
Quick Answer
Paper feels slower and more personal, but it's easy to lose, hard to search, and impossible to back up. A digital journal keeps every entry searchable, private, and synced across devices, without losing the reflective feel of writing. The real answer: whichever one you'll actually stick with - but digital wins if you want to look back and find something fast.
