The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This paper argues that a person's analog journaling practice is not a fixed preference but a living, negotiated outcome of three interacting forces: the materials they use (stationery, notebooks, and digital tools), their personal context (life stage, identity, and mental-health goals), and their communities (close friends and online journaling circles). Based on interviews with 11 journalers and qualitative analysis of 29 YouTube videos and 50 Instagram posts, the paper shows how these forces continually reshape what people write, how they lay out their pages, and whether they sustain the habit. Understanding this ecosystem matters because journaling is linked to mental health and identity development, and the paper uses the framework to suggest design opportunities for future tools, such as adapting templates over time, providing helpful physical constraints, and supporting selective sharing with confidants. The central claim is that the ecosystem model explains both the diversity and the evolution of journaling practice better than individual taste alone.

What carries the argument

The central object is the 'journaling ecosystem' framework, a model that depicts a journaler's practice as the output of ongoing negotiation among three mutually influential components: materials, personal context, and community. The framework functions as the paper's analytical lens, organizing all observed themes into these three categories and explaining changes in practice over time as rebalancing among them. It also directly generates design opportunities by highlighting the ecosystem aspects that current tools overlook, such as evolving templates, helpful physical constraints, and private, selective sharing.

What would settle it

A two-year longitudinal study of journalers that logs material purchases, major life events, and community interactions, and then compares these logs with changes in journal entries and layouts, would test the framework; if many journalers change their practice with no corresponding change in any of the three components, the ecosystem model would need revision.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The paper's core discovery is the identification of a 'journaling ecosystem' in which journaling practice is the product of continuous negotiation among three components: materials (both physical stationery and digital tools like note-taking apps), personal context (the journaler's life circumstances, identity, aspirations, and mental-health goals), and community (immediate social relationships and broader online journaling communities). The paper demonstrates this through examples: page size and pen smoothness shape thought and reduce friction; moving to college alters access to materials and time, shifting routines; and exposure to 'aesthetic journaling' on social media first inspires then is rejected as inauthentic. The framework explains how practices develop over time, and the paper derives design implications from it, including bounded writing spaces, de-emphasized undo functions, and sharing features aimed at small groups of close contacts rather than public audiences.

Load-bearing premise

The ecosystem framework's generalizability rests on a sample of 11 university students in New York City and 79 social media posts selected by hashtags and diversity criteria, so the framework may not capture the experiences of older, non-student, or non-English-speaking journalers.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Journaling tools should let users adapt templates and structures over time, since practices evolve as personal context changes, and fixed prompts or rigid layouts can become stale or feel prescriptive.
  • Designers should embrace helpful constraints such as bounded page space and de-emphasized undo, because small spaces reduce fear of the blank page and permanent ink encourages freeform, unedited reflection.
  • Sharing features should support selective sharing with small groups of confidants rather than public audiences, since many journalers share with close friends or use entries to work through interpersonal conflicts.
  • Digital capture tools such as calendars, photo libraries, and note apps already alter journaling routines by replacing planning and serving as staging grounds, so future tools should integrate these streams thoughtfully rather than replace analog practice.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The ecosystem framework likely extends beyond paper journals to other personal documentation practices, such as scrapbooking, art journals, and digital diaries, since materials, context, and community plausibly operate there too, though the balance among the three may differ.
  • The finding that journalers deliberately filter out negative content to protect their mental health suggests a testable design hypothesis: journaling tools that encourage complete or objective capture may be rejected by users, whereas tools that let users curate a selectively positive record may sustain engagement.
  • Because the interview sample was all university students, the framework's emphasis on personal context may be amplified by a life stage of rapid transition, such as leaving home and starting college, and older or more settled journalers might show a different weighting of the three components, which is an empirical question the paper does not address.

Referee Report

2 major / 5 minor

Summary. The paper presents a qualitative study of analog journaling practices, based on thematic analysis of 29 YouTube stationery-focused videos, 50 Instagram journaling-spread posts, and semi-structured interviews with 11 university-student journalers. The authors derive a 'journaling ecosystem' framework in which journaling practice is shaped by materials, personal context, and community, and use the framework to propose design opportunities for future journaling tools, such as accommodating evolving practices, providing helpful constraints, and supporting selective sharing with close confidants rather than public audiences.

Significance. If the framework holds, it contributes a useful holistic account of how analog journaling practices develop over time, complementing prior HCI work on bullet journaling and quantified-self documentation. The paper's strengths include the triangulation of three data sources, a full appendix listing all analyzed videos and posts, and rich grounding of claims in participant quotes and visual examples. The qualitative methods are standard and described in detail, and the design opportunities follow directly from the empirical themes. The main risk is the completeness and generalizability of the ecosystem framework, given the small, homogeneous interview sample and the absence of explicit saturation or negative-case analysis.

major comments (2)
  1. [Section 4.1 / Section 3.4] The paper states in Section 4.1 that 'the bulk of our results stemmed from our interviews rather than our initial social media analysis,' yet Section 3.4 reports no saturation analysis, no stopping criterion, and no negative-case analysis for the interview coding. Without such evidence, the three-component ecosystem cannot be distinguished from an artifact of a small, homogeneous interview sample. Please add a codebook-stability analysis (e.g., plotting new themes against interview order) or explicitly reframe the contribution as a first-order framework whose completeness remains open.
  2. [Section 3.5 / Section 6] The generalizability of the ecosystem claim is constrained by the interview sample: all 11 participants are students at one New York City research university, aged 18-25, and nine are female. Section 6 acknowledges that students may differ from journalers more broadly, but it does not identify which specific ecosystem components might be missing or misweighted in non-student populations (e.g., working adults, older journalers, non-English-speaking communities). Please either broaden the recruitment strategy or qualify the scope of the framework to the studied populations, and discuss the implications of the sample for each of the three ecosystem components.
minor comments (5)
  1. [Section 2.1] The in-text citation 'Shouzhang et al.' does not correspond to reference [54], which is Yan Yuan. Please correct the attribution or the reference list.
  2. [Section 2.2] The system 'list.it' is described without an explicit citation; if it refers to Van Kleek et al. [50], please insert the citation at that point, otherwise add the missing reference.
  3. [Figure 4] The ecosystem diagram omits labels on the arrows connecting the components, so the causal directions (e.g., personal context influencing both materials and practice) are not legible from the figure alone; consider adding arrow labels or a more detailed caption.
  4. [Sections 3.1 and 3.2] The selection criteria for YouTube videos and Instagram posts ('diversity of content', 'diversity of visual styles') are not operationalized; please state the specific dimensions considered (e.g., format, materials, aesthetic style, geography, creator demographics) and any inclusion thresholds used.
  5. [Section 3.3] The manuscript would benefit from a brief positionality statement; since the coding is qualitative and interpretive, information about the researchers' disciplinary backgrounds and prior assumptions about journaling would help readers interpret the coding choices.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the journaling ecosystem framework is derived from open thematic coding of multiple independent data sources, not from a fitting procedure or load-bearing self-citation.

full rationale

The paper's central claim—that journaling practices are shaped by materials, personal context, and communities—is an interpretive qualitative finding, not a mathematically derived prediction. The methodology describes open coding, affinity diagramming, and consolidation across three independent data sources (YouTube videos, Instagram posts, and semi-structured interviews), with a second coding pass on interviews using the consolidated codebook. Although the interview protocol was informed by the social media codebook, the paper explicitly states that open coding was used for interviews rather than applying existing codes, and the bulk of the results came from interviews rather than the initial social media analysis. There is no equation, fitted parameter, or formal model in which an output is equivalent to an input by construction. The only author self-citation is to Sterman et al. 2022 in the Related Work section, used as background on artists' preferences for digital tools such as copy-paste and version control; it is not load-bearing for the ecosystem framework or for any uniqueness or predictive claim. The limitations concerning student-only participants, the lack of a saturation check, and possible incompleteness of the three-component model are validity and generalizability concerns, not circularity. Therefore, no circular reasoning is present.

Assumptions & free parameters 0 free parameters · 4 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The study rests on qualitative assumptions rather than mathematical axioms. There are no free parameters or invented entities. The key premises are the validity of thematic analysis, the reliability of self-report, the representativeness of the sampled content, and the adequacy of the sample size.

assumptions (4)
  • domain assumption Thematic analysis [9] is a valid method for coding and interpreting journaling videos, posts, and interviews.
    The ecosystem framework is an output of the researchers' coding and affinity diagramming, so its validity depends on this methodological premise.
  • domain assumption Interviewees' retrospective descriptions of how their journaling practice changed over time are accurate.
    Section 4 relies heavily on participants' memories of past practices; memory and narrative bias could distort the reported trajectories.
  • domain assumption Publicly shared YouTube and Instagram content is a meaningful lens on journaling practices and preferences.
    Social media content may be aspirational or performative; the authors acknowledge this in Section 6, but the content analysis still assumes it reveals something about practice.
  • ad hoc to paper A sample of 11 university students plus 79 public posts is sufficient to characterize the journaling ecosystem.
    This is a load-bearing sampling assumption specific to this study; broader populations could alter the framework.

read the original abstract

Analog journaling has grown in popularity, with journaling on paper encompassing a range of motivations, styles, and practices including planning, habit-tracking, and reflecting. Journalers develop strong personal preferences around the tools they use, the ideas they capture, and the layout in which they represent their ideas and memories. Understanding how analog journaling practices are individually shaped and crafted over time is critical to supporting the varied benefits associated with journaling, including improved mental health and positive support for identity development. To understand this development, we qualitatively analyzed publicly-shared journaling content from YouTube and Instagram and interviewed 11 journalers. We report on our identification of the journaling ecosystem in which journaling practices are shaped by materials, personal context, and communities, sharing how this ecosystem plays a role in the practices and identities of journalers as they customize their journaling routine to best suit their personal goals. Using these insights, we discuss design opportunities for how future tools can better align with and reflect the rich affordances and practices of journaling on paper.
