Digital vs traditional journal and callendars

Many people make a new year resolution about being more organized or starting journaling. When it comes to organization and writing down our thoughts, we have an option to use one of the many cool apps or the good old paper classic, writing things by hand, sometimes even going as far as making our own creative spreads. There are a lot of pros and contras to both sides, yet people are usually having a clear preference towards one or the another.

So my question to you is:
Are you a traditional notes and pen kind of person, or an apps person when it comes to planners, organization and journaling?

i´m personally a writing stuff on paper person, but i do use digital apps to help me out in the short run, like documenting my meds intake or when is my closest work shift, until i copy these things to my journal, since i found this long term/summary is working better for me on paper and short term is more practical to have at hand, with just the freshest information for clarity. I also write journal entries by hand. Can´t wait to hear about your personal preferences!

I'm a pen and paper girl.  I already have my planner and my journal ready to go for 2024.  :)  That's my favorite part of the new year- getting new paper!  :)  Haha.

Thank you for the tag!🌻

I'm a pen-paper journal persun hehe, something about letting my thoughts and feelings flow on paper is a nostalgic experience for me, and so definitely quite old school and simple about this one hehe!

I haven't journaled in a while, and certainly willing to be more consistent with it, so thank youuu for this reminder. Perhaps can start small, one sentence at a time lol.😄
