Lola’s back — and so are her questionable financial decisions.
But this time, she’s not just journaling her way through a life-altering Magic Mike moment… she’s categorising it. Because jot has a very chic little feature that helps you sort your entries into tidy emotional buckets, even when your actual life is anything
but
tidy.
Let’s dive in.
Is your life an elegant, neatly structured narrative arc?
No. Of course not.
But jot’s Categories feature lets you pretend it is.
When you open jot, you’re greeted with gentle, pastel-toned folders like:
Daily Tasks (the things you actually did)
Drama (the things you shouldn’t have done)
Fun (the things you’ll definitely do again even though they cost your entire savings)
Wellbeing (hydration attempts + emotional breakthroughs)
Work (meetings you barely survived)
You can also create your own categories because your life is unique, messy, and doesn’t always fit into “Drama,” even if technically it should.
These categories help you track patterns, moods, routines, chaotic decisions… and just generally make sense of yourself. A small miracle.
To demonstrate the magic (and the Mike), Lola has graced us with today’s journal entry:

Financially reckless? Absolutely.
Emotionally rich? As rich as she’s ever going to be, honestly.
After JotBot gently refrained from calling her fiscally irresponsible, Lola did something revolutionary:
She
categorised
her entry.
And naturally, she picked:

Because when you drop your life savings on male acrobatics, that’s not Drama — that’s a lifestyle.
One tap, done. Her Magic Mike adventure is now officially catalogued under the “Fun” category, where it can sit comfortably among future spontaneous decisions that are 50% joy, 50% “should I have done that,” and 100% Lola.
jot’s categories are more than little colour-coded bubbles:
They help you see what chapters of your life you return to
They show you patterns (“Why are there so many Drama entries?” — we’ve all asked it)
They gently steer you toward balance (maybe we aim for a Wellbeing moment after a Drama spiral)
They make journaling feel instantly more organised with zero extra effort
And if you’re Lola, they also help you justify personal spending.
Lola had an epiphany.
jot had a category for it.
Together, they are unstoppable.
Try jot’s categories feature the next time your life veers into Fun, Drama, Wellbeing, or “I need to invent a new category for whatever that was.”
Because jot isn’t just where you reflect —
it’s where you organise the messy chaos you call your life.
