My local library's journaling club is now half digital, and it's splitting opinions
I've been part of a bullet journal group at my library for a year, and lately, more members are using apps like Notion or GoodNotes instead of paper notebooks. Some say digital tools let them carry their journal everywhere on their phone, and they can fix mistakes without a mess. But others, like me, argue that writing by hand makes us think more and feel more connected to our plans. For instance, when I track my habits on paper, I remember them better than just tapping on a screen. Plus, seeing my messy handwriting and doodles adds a personal touch that apps can't match. I'm curious what this community thinks. Is the move to digital just a trend, or is it the future of bullet journaling?

Read a study about how handwriting uses more parts of your brain tied to memory. That's probably why your paper habit tracker sticks better, it just feels more real to your mind. Both ways work but they give you different things.
