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!

    I’ve made a system of using Plotter ring journals a week at time and then running them through my scansnap into Keep It on my Mac. Keep It uses the native Apple handwriting recognition, which is shockingly quite good. Then I clip them together and put them into a monthly accordion file made for storing canceled checks. Works really well for me!
