Journaling is scientifically proven to improve overall wellbeing and quality of life. Its a small, achievable task that can lead to a big impact.

But it’s hard to get started journaling. I previously wrote about what user experience designers and app developers call ‘friction points.’

Traditional methods of journaling have lots of friction points: you have to have the right pen and right notebook; you have to remember where the notebook is each day, and not leave it somewhere if you’re travelling; you’re continuously confronted with spelling and grammar; it’s slow; it hurts your hand to do for a long time; etc.

So audio journaling is a great alternative. It’s as easy as sending a voice note to a friend. And, if you use your phone to make recordings, you’ll likely always have everything you need.
