If you’re anything like me, sometimes it’s easy to forget you need to do certain things. With the new Journal app, I really want to give it a go and update it regularly.
However, I do find myself forgetting quite often.
Well, there’s actually a simple solution for this – all we need to do is jump into the Settings app and then scroll down until we reach “Journal.”
From here, we’re then going to go on to “Journaling Schedule,” and we can choose what day of the week and what time we want to be reminded.
For me, I’m going to set a reminder for every day at 8:00 p.m. in the evening.
Then, when the time comes around, I’ll get a little notification on my phone, reminding me to add to my Journal.
Tapping this alert will take me straight into the Journaling app, and from here, I can either write my own manual entry or tap the magic wand button to find a suggested one that I want to type about.
I find this to be a nice, gentle nudge to remind me to add something into my Journal.
It’s very low stakes; it doesn’t matter if I miss anything, but it is nice to have that reminder.
