I'll keep your words in mind. Thanks Rick.

Then after I did standing practice for a few months, I threw them all away. It felt quite liberating. I kept journals for about 12 years.

There's quite a nifty wordpress app for iPhone. Unfortunately, i found out the same thing as what I do with an online blog. The drafts stay as drafts. And there isn't much time to reflect on a PDA. A journal allows a much better reflection time, and hence better understanding. So i end up jotting down the key idea i would like to journal about (if there's one) on my iphone, and then let myself go when journalling. It's working better than I expected so far. A simple notes program would do. (the journal has no mobile version) I tried that out with wordpress actually. There’s quite a nifty wordpress app for iPhone.

I agree with the idea of balancing out low/high tech devices ;) I opted for the private blog thing b/c (1) it's free, and (2) there may be a time where I will want to post something away from my home computer. Do you have "The Journal" installed on your PDA (personal digital device)? Hey Shang.

But i don't think i'm going to use it now. I'm finding a balance between high tech and low tech. Although I love written note books (i think they're a dying breed), typing on PDAs are still quicker. I've also toyed with the idea of a private blog, but that requires internet connection, which will introduce a lot more distractions. Which is why the current balance between high tech and low tech. :) Hey wujimon, incidentally, i’m trying out Evernote as well! But i don’t think i’m going to use it now.

Like you, I also keep a journal that's private. However, for me, it's a moleskine notebook that I jot things in, or Evernote. Just curious, why use "the Journal" software and not just create a private wordpress blog (subdomain, or locally hosted, or wordpress.com)? Hey Shang.
