I just keep a simple flat text file. I have a command that opens that file and positions the cursor at the end. I have a simple editor command that adds a new timestamp when I start a new day. There is really no other structure (well, notes that say 'TODO' with checkboxes like [] for "not done" and [x] for "done", but that's really it). The file is many megabytes long, and that's useful because it's incredibly easy to search. I've tried other approaches, other tooling, and really it just came down to realizing that there was tremendous value in keeping a log, and that to be successful I had to keep it dirt simple rather than switching horses to new shiny every few months.
