Since about 2012, I have had about 8 journal books. It can kind of get triggering due to differences in hand writing styles from a few of us. I like getting it out on sites like ,although I had to worry about old friends tracking us to know our business, Long story....I do a combination of both, but can't seem to have 365 daily entries in a journal.. I like variety though. Journaling is a good idea especially if you need your therapist to help with an entry that you might not get to speak in therapy.
