In this video, I demonstrate how I use Apple Notes to create a simple journal.

1. Have a separate folder for your 'Journal'. Each note is an entry.
2. Name with the following format: YYYY-MM-DD Journal Entry. This makes notes more searchable.
3. Journal how you like: Freewriting, 5-Minute journal (what would make today great, what are you grateful for). Gratitude journal.
4. Include photos. It's a nice way to remember a moment and make your journal more visual.
5. Include links to important articles you've read and want to remember.
6. I also have one note pinned to the top called 'Significant Dates'. Each journal entry corresponds to one day. This note is your macro journal that records all the most important events and dates in your life. It's something you can look back on that tells a story about the big changes you've gone through and significant moments.
