Privacy rules for AI journals
Prefer a private AI chat product. Disable cloud sync you do not need. Avoid real names of family or coworkers if exposure would hurt. Export important entries to an encrypted note app you control.
Prompt patterns
Try: "Ask me five questions about today, then summarize themes without advice-splaining." Or: "Turn this rough dump into three calm next actions."
