Set a Journaling Schedule So You Never Miss a Day
Building a habit takes time and consistency, but Apple can help you with both. The Journal app lets you schedule reminders to prompt you to write even on days you’re feeling uninspired.
Here’s how to set up reminders:
- Open the Journal app.
- Tap the back button to go to your Journal Insights.
- Tap the three-dot button in the top right corner of your screen.
- Tap on Notifications.
- Choose which type of notifications you’ll want to get.
The notification options are pretty self-explanatory. Custom Notifications let you choose specific weekdays and times you want to be reminded to write, but the real power lies in Smart Notifications. This feature lets your iPhone learn from your daily routine, so reminders appear at times and places when you’re most likely to journal — whether that’s during your morning coffee or when you’re usually winding down at the end of a long day.
