30 Days to a better man
• OneNote. Microsoft OneNote is a robust note-taking program
that can double as a journal. Just create a notebook within
OneNote for your journal and start writing. With this program,
you can easily drop photos and videos into your journal entries.
OneNote is only available for Windows.
• Evernote. Evernote is pretty much like Microsoft OneNote
except 1) it’s free, 2) it works on any platform, and 3) you can save
and access entries on the internet easily, thus giving you access
to your journal everywhere you go. I don’t use Evernote for my
journal, but I use it on a daily basis for notes and would definitely
recommend it.
The internet provides several options for you to store your journal
in the “cloud” and even share it with other people. A few options:
• Blogspot. It’s free and it gives you the option of keeping your
journal private or sharing it with a few people. In addition to
writing text, you can easily include photos in your journal entries.
• LiveJournal. Pretty much the same as Blogspot. It’s free and you
have the option of keeping it private or you can share with others.
• WordPress.com. Out of all the blogging platforms, I prefer
WordPress (it’s what we use for Art of Manliness). You can get a
free wordpress.com blog and start a journal with it.
• Use Gmail as a journal. This is an interesting idea.
2. Schedule a time. Starting a journal is easy enough. Sticking to it on a
daily basis is more difficult. If you want to make it a habit, just pick a
time in your day for journal writing and make it a non-negotiable in
your life. I like doing it at night right before I go to bed. It’s a good
way to decompress and review the day’s events. But some people prefer
writing in the morning or jotting down thoughts throughout the
day. Just do what works for you.
