I can't journal digitally. I keep a bullet journal but I don't take it with me most of the time. I keep a separate gratitude journal - by the way - it was inspired by Ryan Holiday. :) I do keep a running "S&*% I Gotta Get Done" list on my Notes app. Its very satisfying to hit the little open circle when I complete a task. I would be lost LOST! without the list and my bujo. I have a separate long-form journal that I have a terrible time writing in. When I open it and sit down to write in it Marcus Aurelius speaks to me. He says, "No one cares." I usually close the book. :)
I’m currently journaling digitally but pen and paper does have an allure of its own kind. I’ve got a bundle of (don’t judge me) notebooks in my office cupboard I requested as a good gift idea; haven’t used them yet. This causes me much consternation. I think my brain is just too distracted right now. I need to find balance. During the summer kayaking down a river helped and I’ll swap that for woodland walks this autumn. This reply is turning into a post maybe I should continue this as such.
You should definitely try doing some morning pages in one of those poor neglected notebooks! I find my mind is so much quieter on the days I've done it compared to those I haven't. If nothing else, it gives you a chance to see what all the distractions are and have an opportunity to make a decision (or not) about what to do with those distractions.
