FAQ
What is micro journaling?
A micro journal is essentially a bullet journal with a focus on a minimalistic writing style. Distilling events down to the essentials gives rise to clarity and at 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. Check out our post "Some Good Reasons to Journal Daily" for more good reasons.
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 journaling app has the advantage of always being with you, and while searching and aggregating insights can be very tedious with a paper journal, the Journalistic app makes it easy as pie.
