Journler looks impressive. Damn, another reason to get a Mac.
I predominately use Linux as I work in web dev. I had a good dig around for a decent journal program, but found nothing that's what I was looking for.
In the end, I settled for a console-based program called
Diary.
I have been using it for two days now. It is working well.
As to the benefits of journaling, I think there are many. I am so grateful to Steve for writing that particular article.
I am going to write my plans in my journal. I will also reflect on how I have been doing, in business and personal life. I love the reflection part. Speeds up learning.
