Journal
Lunatask is also a powerful journaling app – journaling is the practice of keeping a diary or journal which explores the thoughts and emotions you experience in your life. Keeping a journal is a way to express yourself without judgment or rules.
Journaling has many benefits on the journey toward your goals. It helps process emotions in a positive way and can improve awareness of anxiety and depression by clearing your mental clutter, focusing your mind, and building awareness of your thoughts and feelings. It also reduces intrusion and avoidance symptoms post-trauma.
Lunatask automatically creates a new journal entry for you each day, which is accessible from anywhere within the app. To open it, click the smiley icon in the top menu. Alternatively, press M on your keyboard to open the journaling dialog and start typing immediately.
Mood tracking
Your journal integrates with our mood tracker. Currently, there can be only a single value for mood, energy, and stress level each day. Journal entries share these values with the day they are set to. Therefore, if you have multiple journal entries for a particular day, all of them will share the same mood tracker values.
Template customization
The template new journal entries are initialized with can be customized. In the template, you can ask yourself questions you’d like to answer in each entry or remind yourself of things not to forget to enter into your journal.
Here are a few suggestions for inspiration:
- What did you do today?
- What's the best thing that happened today?
- What are you grateful for today?
- If there's one thing you want to remember from this day, what is it?
- What was the hardest part of your day? How did you deal with it?
- What is the happy memory from today you would like to keep?
- What made you smile today?
- What is your current bottleneck, and how can you fix it?
- What challenges are you facing?
- What would you change if you had a chance?
- What has kept you down today?
- What did you learn?
- Did you make time for self-care today? If so, what did you do and how did you feel after this self-care activity?
Privacy
Your journal enjoys the same security and privacy benefits as our other features and your journal entries are end-to-end encrypted.
Furthermore, a four-digit PIN can be set up in the settings to add an extra layer of protection for your sensitive thought if someone else has access to your devices.
