Since the start of this year I've been keeping a similar journal. Instead of opening an editor to write a single line to a text file, I just print the arguments of a command to the end of a file and prefixed with a timestamp. Since there's no need to review or save the file, there's no interruption in what I'm doing. Logging things to the file feels like shooting things into the ether and I end up doing it constantly throughout the day.
