I am looking to start getting into this. But I have never enjoyed writing. I also feel a little iffy knowing that my diaries are sitting around somewhere in my room and my family can find it at any moment. If I were to type it would be faster, more secure as I can encrypt it, and it would not get lost as easily as I can upload the encrypted file to a cloud.

However, is typing any less effective at making you feel better than writing?

    I’m keeping an audio journal. I have it on my phone; it’s generally approximately 5-minutes long. I usually record them in the morning or afternoon on my way to work or home.

      During the pandemic , I started making videos for my wife once a day to cheer her up while she’s at work. It’s just me walking around the house checking in on things and talking about my day, lasting about 3 minutes. I now have hundreds of them. And now that I think about it… These are journals too!

      Audio/video recordings are Definitely helpful for those who want to journal but hate writing.
