Hey! I’ve written a digital journal for the last couple of years. Backup there wasn’t a problem. But I struggled with finding the „perfect tool“ and switched from app to app and back until I just took a notebook and a fountain pen and started writing couple of months ago.
My question now is: what’s a good way to achieve and protect a full journal physically and what’s your personal backup strategy to back up your journal in a digital way so that you still have your memories in case of your house burning down or another catastrophic event.
Thank you in advance!
Nice - way more organized than my ‘system’. I stripped the cover off a generic set of A6 binder rings, attached them to a more solid cover that my leather binder will hold effectively, and go in weekly or so to pull out used pages/refill blanks. The written ones go in a literal box, always on top with the punched side facing a given direction, which keeps them chronological.
What it does not do is offer any kind of backup, or OCR/search function if I’ve no idea when I wrote something that I need to track down.
What systems I have are all consistently evolving on the fly, mostly slowly.
