i had no idea that emacs had so many features (from this and other comments).

  This system doesn't really require emacs. The general idea is to assign keybindings to jump to today's daypage, the previous file, and the next file. Being able to create a daypage that doesn't exist is helpful (but not necessary -- you could create 300 of them with a shell script once a year), and being able to search for things in a folder is also helpful. You can implement that with your favorite text editor. You could do it with Notepad and AutoHotkey if you were persistent. Org-mode adds organization, but honestly I benefit from its syntax highlighting and the bragging rights more than anything else. :-)
