FWIW, I use OneNote to do this. One section per month, and then a tab for every week. I put high level tasks under each week and put my notes in as appropriate.
I tried using org-mode but it took too much time to learn when the alternative I had on hand (OneNote) was much easier to learn. Yes, I don't get the same feature set with org-mode, but all I wanted was a work journal.
- krylon 11y agoAs much as I enjoy bashing Microsoft Office, OneNote is a real pleasure to use. If I had it on my laptop, I might have used it for this purpose, too. But, alas, my laptop has Office 2007 Pro, which does come with Access (which I have no use for), but without OneNote (I think it was still a separate product back then). IMHO MS Office has mostly gotten worse and worse with each release following 2007, but I really do envy my coworkers who have OneNote on their machines (although few actually use it). For somebody not wanting to dive into the complexities of org-mode, OneNote is - depending on the platform - a great alternative. Probably, OneNote can do things org-mode cannot, and vice versa. But they address similar scenarios. I for one have already invested heavily into becoming proficient with emacs, have it open all the time, anyway, so spending time making emacs do even more things for me seems like a good investment at this point. Also, the result might be slightly confusing but it still is a plain text file that can be read with any text editor.
