I'm considering giving up on my handwritten journal. Even using my favorite fountain pen and ink doesn't help me enjoy writing long entries by hand. I'm impatient, and my handwriting is getting worse, not better. The journal is only one of my notebooks, though, so it abandoning it for digital would still leave me with a couple paper notebooks. My favorite is a blank Leuchtturm1977 notebook that I use as more of a scrapbook. I attach photos, receipts, clippings, etc. to pages and then write about them. Sometimes I doodle in it. This is the kind of artifact I like having. A long-form journal writing about "how I'm feeling" or whatever works fine digitally. Better, probably.
