If your journal is digital wouldn't this be solved by some sort of tagging system and some helper scripts? Journal primarily by date, but tag entries with a project name, and have a script to filter on tags.
- holri 7y agoYes I tried this with org-mode, but my tags should be hierarchically nested 3 or 4 levels since some projects are quite large and need structure. This gets unfeasible with tags.
- anoncake 7y agoHow about something like org-brain [1] or simply an index, using headlines like you would otherwise use hierarchical tags? [1] https://github.com/Kungsgeten/org-brain https://github.com/Kungsgeten/org-brain
- kungtotte 7y agotodo.txt has `+project` and `@context` fields, you could either follow that format (different leading characters) or use `@main@sub1@sub2` or `@main/sub1/sub2` for hierarchial project tags. I mean, anything that's well formed and won't clash with typical project names is going to work. Or rely on the file system. `journal/` as the root non-project folder and then `journal/project/sub1/`.
- anoncake 7y agoYou can put slashes in Org tags. I think OP is looking for tooling that actually understands that they form a hierarchy. There is something like that in Org though as I just found out.[1] [1] https://orgmode.org/manual/Tag-hierarchy.html https://orgmode.org/manual/Tag-hierarchy.html
