How to make an online diary
Pick an app, set a password, start writing. Don't overthink it.An online diary is no different from a paper diary – just digital. You write about your life, your thoughts, whatever's on your mind. The "online" part means it syncs across devices and is password-protected.
Quick setup
- Pick a platform. Day One, Journey, OhDiary, or even just a notes app. Any will work.
- Create an account. Set a password. Enable biometric lock if available.
- Write your first entry. Date, a few sentences. Done.
Tips
- Write at the same time each day if you want it to stick
- Add photos if that helps you capture the day
- Don't worry about making it good – just make it regular
The hard part isn't setup. It's writing consistently. Start simple and build from there.
