I've always hated recording entries in a paper journal: my handwriting is painfully slow, I have to turn the lights on to see what I'm doing, and I have to try to decypher my writing in the morning. When I got my smartphone, I had hopes that I could use it as my dream journal, but I ended up even slower on the phone than on paper.

I thought about keeping a laptop nearby, but the light from the screen / whir of the fan all night just wasn't going to happen.

Then I realized I could use a bluetooth keyboard to type onto my phone. Now I can type out my dream journal entries on my phone at full speed, with my eyes closed, and email it to myself when I'm done. All the things I hate about journaling solved!
