FAQ
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 “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?
What is the advantage of an app over a paper journal?
