I've been writing a journal since 1992 and it is probably one of the best decisions I ever made. I've used a Franklin Planner from the same year which is how that got started so my journal is handwritten on paper in my day-planner. I think in 2013 I tried to convert to an online journal but I went back to the paper because I missed the "look and feel" of the paper journal which was too integrated in the process for me to change -- old dog, new tricks issue.

I tried to use a Zoho online wiki that was set to private and I also used a Wordpress blog set to private. I liked both methods but found the WP blog was really a good format for a journal. If I was a young dog learning new tricks this is the route I would go but too late for me. I really liked the ability to put links in my journal to public info I wanted to think about or back links to prior journal entries where I could then discuss what I thought about this or that (standard journal stuff). Another advantage is access via any of my devices Macbook, iPad, Windows PC, etc was (almost) seamless or at least not seamfull enough to bother me. I didn't really have an issue with privacy concerns but be sure to check all the settings because the default assumption is that a wiki or blog is to share. There are journal hosting sites but after I found WP blog I didn't really investigate those in too much detail so that might be another option.

Good luck and write every day.
