Depends on the scope of the mistake. And if I want to cover it up at all. For my writing journals, where I do my creative writing exercises or plotting for a book, I like to see the strike throughs on the passages I "deleted" (if it makes sense). It's kind of a roadmap. For my journaling there's nothing I hate more than a messy page, especially if/when I get the date wrong (happens a lot, sadly) or my attempts at calligraphy go south. I use stickers and washi tape and sticky notes then, however in the end it feels like the cover up is worse than the initial mistake. Maybe strike throughs and a little "oopss!" comment on the side is better in the end.
