I use OhLife (premium! because I like the service). It emails me every day with a random entry from the past, and I just reply to that email to submit my journal entry for the day.

I write mostly for therapeutic reasons and to keep a personal history of what I was thinking / feeling. I like seeing an old entry every day and remembering "oh yeah, I remember when that happened". Gives me some perspective...

I've also thought about doing sentiment analysis on my old journal entries and seeing how that changes over time.
