I have both digital and analog journals in active use. And I think they all fall in three different categories.

I have paper journals that I’m going to keep. Like my 5 year journals will most likely end up in storage for longer if not forever, but most of my notebooks end up in the trash when I’m done with them.

While the stuff I have digitally are typically there forever.

The stuff I know will be noise in the long term will always be written on paper because I find it much easier to get rid of them than digital because the cost of keeping digital content is so much lower.

While the digital is things I will go back to look at. Some of it is proper journaling in Day One. And other things are more logs and less mindful and is often moved out of there to other places as time goes by.
