FAQ
What is micro journaling?
A micro journal is essentially a bullet journal with focus on a minimalistic writing style. Distilling events down to the essential gives rise to clarity and in the end that is why you keep a journal in the first place, isn't it?
Why should I start a journal?
Keeping a journal is all about awareness and focus. Both writing and recapping daily logs help you reflect upon your relationships, accomplishments, goals and life in general.
What is the advantage of a journaling app over a paper journal?
In terms of writing experience certainly nothing comes close to physical writing. However, a digital journal has the advantage of always being with you, and while searching and aggregating insights can be very tedious with a paper journal, Journalistic makes it easy as pie.
