The dated design might be offensive to the more aesthetically-minded viewers, but it still has its uses. This is a very basic website that offers more of a ‘Getting Things Done’ approach to journalling. If you’re OK about spending the money, the site has some interesting features and could be a valuable self-development tool. This site uses encryption to keep data secure and was founded and run by a group of people who think journalling is the bee’s knees. It’s a nice way of charting ups, downs and progressions, and useful for spotting emotional patterns. When you’ve answered the questions, you can view a progress graph which gives you an idea of how your responses have changed since you started journalling. The page also contains diagnostic questions centred around certain mental health issues, although personally I don’t believe these are helpful as professional help might be more appropriate for some of the conditions they describe. The topics are customisable, and questions include things like ‘Since your last entry, have you felt grateful about some part of your life?’ with multiple choice answers (never/seldom/sometimes/often). These encourage you to think more deeply about certain areas of your life and include topics like gratitude, joy and grief. Once you’re done with your main journal entry, you’ll get reminder questions or prompts. You can also add tags to each post searching for certain entries easier.

Penzu would be great for people who want to make a scrapbook-type journal and it’s perfect for those who want to use online applications without giving up on the good old A4 lined pad. With a screen designed to look like paper, the site allows journallers to insert pictures into their entries and publish to blogs or websites. However, there is a free version which seems to work just as well. Users pay a monthly premium for added security and extra features. Penzu comes in both free and paid versions.

Journalling is awesome (see why here) and thanks to the internet there are now more websites, apps and software than ever to help. OK, so Christmas is still many months away (and apparently the whole chocolatey selection box tradition is a UK thing) but off timing and cultural obscurity aside, here is another kind of selection box: helpful journalling tools!
