Sometimes in the next couple of weeks, I am going to be switching from my daily journaling in a physical journal to doing it in Logos, a part of my daily devotion time. I am looking for ideas in doing this for layouts and functionality. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I too would be interested in formats, workflows, or whatever to do electronic journalling.
Here is my layout. I am using a paper devotional guide at the moment. If I use an electronic one it is included in the layout. The guide for beads is used as a centering time with anglican prayer beads. I have blocked out some of my lists for obvious reasons.
Do you think it is better to do that? Like a birthday card to my mother, a real card with a note written in pen is far better than an email to her--even if it is an electronic card with exploding fireworks.
I think at the end of life, having a shelf of hand-written personal reflections is more meaningful than computer notes. But I do know that many others prefer the computer notes too. Just keep journaling.

"better" is a judgment between recall or keepsake. I see value in both.

I have a journal notebook where I place all my journaling notes in Logos. I will regularly tie that note to an anchor in the Biblical text or a book I'm reading so that I can find those thoughts/insights or be reminded of what God is doing in my life when I reread those passages. I have found this is also helpful when I'm looking to revisit thoughts or re-read my journal. I often recall what I was reading but not what I said, so it is more helpful to look for the note icon in the Bible or tied to a chapter in a book. This is where Logos excels.
That said, I have moved my prayer journals to a different application. This is for a couple reasons you might want to consider
For these reasons the majority of my notes are not in Logos. That said, anchoring journals and prayers to a Biblical text or selection in a book is valuable. I would love to more fully integrate these in the future.
