9 Journal Apps to Help You Slay Your 2017 Goals
To say we’re a *tad* obsessed with paper journals might be a little bit of an understatement. But as much as we love our precious diaries, carrying around our everyday journal, bullet journal, fitness journal and gratitude journal can sometimes leave our bag feeling more like a high-school backpack than a girlboss briefcase. That’s why we’ve decided to make the switch to digital journals — not only are they virtually weightless, but they’re much cheaper and packed with cool features that you just can’t get with an old-school journal. Here are nine of our favorite apps to help you journal anything and everything.
