Journals are stored as human readable plain text +files - you can put them into a Dropbox folder for instant syncing and +you can be assured that your journal will still be readable in 2050, +when all your fancy iPad journal applications will long be forgotten. + +`jrnl` also plays nice with the fabulous +[DayOne](http://dayoneapp.com) and can read and write directly from and +to DayOne Journals. + +Optionally, your journal can be encrypted using the [256-bit +AES](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard). + +## Why keep a journal? + +Journals aren't just for angsty teenagers and people who have too much +time on their summer vacation. A journal helps you to keep track of the +things you get done and how you did them. Your imagination may be +limitless, but your memory isn't. + +For personal use, make it a good habit to write at least 20 words a day. +Just to reflect what made this day special, why you haven't wasted it. + +For professional use, consider a text-based journal to be the perfect +complement to your GTD todo list - a documentation of what and how +you've done it. Or use it as a quick way to keep a change log. Or use it +to keep a lab book. |
