Happy Friday Friends - Do you Journal & if so how? I'd love to hear your tips & thoughts below! 👇+ 📣Grab my newly updated Prompted Stoic Journal at bettercreating.com/notionessentials right now 🎉 (with built-in custom AI summaries for paid Notion AI users!)

[@faafafineartist]

This is exciting! 👍🏼

[@BetterCreating]

I think so too! cheers!

[@ChrisMorga]

I can’t wait until Apple’s Journal comes to iPad. I’m on 18 months consecutive and ongoing.
In the beginning, prompts helped ALOT!

[@BetterCreating]

Amazing stuff! Yeah, looking forward to that. :)

[@ChristopherStellarTucker]

Journaling is very assistive. Over the last 18 months, I have used voice-to-text transcription that then puts it via an LLM prompt to auto-structure and analysis. Which then go to Notion, which then Notion AI provides deeper analysis.

[@BetterCreating]

This is cool! High tech journalling

[@chutherock]

I see a cheeky little Lofree Flow keyboard there 🙌🏽

[@cliveleonard]

Simon, will you be including these updates in your "Simplified Notion" template?

[@petermaddison9236]

Love it

[@tjveach]

Just found you, great job on Notion! I will be heading to your website shortly….If you don’t mind, can you tell me the tool or tools you are using for video capture and editing ?

[@st.stephen4438]

Hi Simon, The AI summaries to your new Prompted Stoic Journal looks really cool. I assume this will be included in the new Complete Life OS Bundle... Cheers!

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks! Yes, I will add it to that system, but remember you’ll need to be paying for Notion AI to use :)

[@eMotionFlowing]

Hi Simon, is there also an update for Simplified Notion: Life OS? The journal is also included there.

[@Gurman01]

Notion or obsidian? What’s the difference or benefit over the other?

[@DahanaL]

Thank you for the video! Is the Entry Date a formula?

[@BetterCreating]

yes - it calculates if it's the created date, or it's been updated by the manual date set column :)

[@Oakcitymedia]

I love writing on paper, I also tried the iPad but seems not really enjoyable using the Apple Pencil. I tried a paper like. Maybe another brand makes a difference? You hear tapping and it feels rough writing on the iPad.

[@artemsapegin]

Writing on an iPad with an external mechanical keyboard turned out to be the best for me.

[@amengaming3722]

it's awesome 💖

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks!

[@MiguelZobaranFigueiredo]

Hi Simon, I just bought the Stoic Journal Template but I did not receive the download link! Super eager to use it... could you help me retrieve my link?

[@jynellgreenfield-lazzaro3948]

This is happening to me also. When I go to the link provided the link to download the templets isn't available.

[@arnejoan_2136]

💀

[@timisremote]

The one thing that is stopping me from committing to Notion is that you can’t write straight into it using the iPad and pencil.

[@BetterCreating]

I hear you! Fingers crossed they will offer something soon. Scribble kinda works… kinda…

[@timisremote]

@@BetterCreating might start migrating projects to it and see how it feels and hope they add it - or at least how to integrate Goodnotes fully even better. It's been over a year since I started thinking about Notion. Now its about finding the time to learn it!

[@meirha_creates]

so one could say journaling is your roman empire? :D

[@BetterCreating]

Haha, not planning on an empire, but i like it! Haha
