Learning an instrument is primarily about having fun while sucking and embarrassing yourself. This continues once you start playing with other people, and then is given a new form and scope when/if you perform in front of an audience. There's also a lot of discomfort along the way. Yet I'm compelled to continue doing it, it's really unusual.

Curious what your process looks like for designing, more interest in unique exterior architectural sketches or floor plans?

OneNote is great and I use it and depend on it for my job, but I ended up using Joplin for my personal "note taking" app. I chose it over Obsidian for reasons now largely lost to time, I recall the things people praised Obsidian for weren't things I cared about, integrations of various kinds. Joplin syncs to DropBox, and I'm able to use it on mac/windows/ios. It's built on some bloated framework so it's a little slow to load on desktop OS's, though.
That said, as far as journals go, Joplin only contains my dream journal. Regular, brief daily journal entries go in a weekly planner, I use Leuchtturm A5 because they're easy to find and are formatted well. You can also get a different color every year and then you don't even have to label them. If I actually have something to say then I'll try for an essay and save that with its date in my personal documents.
I'm maybe a little obsessively reflective, but it definitely seems worthwhile to leave some breadcrumbs for yourself as you make your way through the world. I recently came across some of my earlier journaling from ~20 years ago at my childhood home and it was not what I expected, in a good way. There's a lot we forget.
That's funny, I also had a pixel that I'd loved the dimensions of, and ended up replacing it with an iphone 13 mini which was even better. Now, since there is apparently no market for what I (dating myself) consider the "normal" smartphone size, I'm basically hoping that the future foretold by the apple exec ("you may not need an iphone in ten years") has a sneak preview offering in 3-4. Something literally like Joaquin Phoenix's little makeup compact device in Her would be -great-.
