MS OneNote as daily notes (separate work and personal accounts).
MS OneNote is great since can easily copy-paste text and images to a daily sheet; So it is kind of a running log during the day.
Then during the night, index it in a Google Doc; by index I mean the MS OneNote page is described with a few bullet points. An index is very helpful so that at a quick glance one can get an idea what is inside the different MS OneNote pages even without doing a full scan on all of the MS OneNote pages.
It is similar to a database where-in the information is stored in the table but an index is necessary to be able to quickly find what one is looking for without having to read too much data.
Google Docs as index is really helpful I think and can be used to track easy to forget details such as birthdays, passwords, etc.. as well. If not Google Docs, the closest alternative would be Workflowy probably but same idea of sections, lists and short bullet point style descriptions since the more long-form paragraph content can be kept elsewhere like in a MS OneNote sheet.
Also, good I think to have a monthly iteration for the Google Doc index document so that it doesn't become too large and some data can be left behind in the past month document.
