Thing #8: Online Notebooks and writing prompts



So I looked around on my Google Play story (the app store for Android if you’re an iPhone user) and I decided on Penzu. I really liked the layout and how user-friendly it was. But the real reason why I chose it was because I really wanted to try my hand at using this type of app for my phone since, unlike my computer, I carry it everywhere with me. Also, it seems to come in handy because I find myself sometimes throughout the day without my regular, old fashioned planner and desperate to find somewhere to jot down some notes.

Other than this app I have never really used a notebook besides for class. There have been times when I would go on vacation or somewhere interesting and I would keep a personal journal which I do find handy. For example, when I went to Israel a few years ago I made sure to take a spiral with me so I could write down anything interesting that I did. Remarkably, I forgot about it until this past winter break but when I found it and read it I was amazed to see that I remembered so much. Overall, I plan on using this type of thing –either digital or old school- more often.
