One entry a day, 280 characters long.
Journals and diaries are intimidating. Keeping a full-blown journal is difficult, but writing 280 characters a day isn't. Store the outline and your memory fills in the rest.
Add a photo if you like. One line on a busy day is still a day remembered.
Private by default, and proudly unsociable.
No followers, no likes and no feed. Your entries are never shown to anyone unless you choose to share them, and every page is served over an encrypted connection.
It's a journal, not a performance.
A nudge when you need one.
Pick how often you hear from us and what time suits you. On Raq.com you can also email an entry straight into your journal.

What 280daily users say.
I found this little gem a month ago, and what can I say? I'm in MAD MAD love with it. The simple notion of writing down your achievements (and reviewing them) lets you refine your workflow.

Entries are easy to do with a 280 character limit, and I think that should make for more consistent journaling.

Easy way to journal daily. Now I have no excuses! Super simple, easy to access from all your locations.

I'd been lamenting my need for something just like this because I have a terrible short-term memory, but I get lost in traditional journaling.

280 characters or less so you can always read it later, archive it and even search it.

In an effort to journal more (without boring the pants offa Twitter peeps), I signed up for 280daily. Kinda loving it so far!
