Personal Journal

Keep a private log of observations, in-person recaps, and more with notes and attachments stored in one place just for you.

If you’re feeling tense or overwhelmed, you may easily forget your thoughts and important details. Personal Journal lets you jot down whatever you’d like to document privately, giving you space to track and reflect on whatever matters to you.

Personal Journal

How does the Personal Journal work?

  • Write private journal entries that your co-parent cannot see
  • Title entries by date or topic so they are easier to find later
  • Add up to five attachments to provide more detailed context
  • Update entries as needed to keep notes clear and organized
  • Review your past entries any time for reflection or reference

Tips and best practices

Quick habits to help shape the journal to fit your needs and goals.

  1. Write a quick entry when something’s on your mind to help process it.
  2. Use consistent title formats to make your entries easier to skim through.
  3. Keep each entry focused on a single moment or topic to avoid mix-ups.
  4. Attach photos or files when they help add context without extra writing.
  5. Revisit older entries occasionally to refresh your memory and add updates.
