I have been plain text journalling in vim for 18 months. I use a single file. Each day, at the bottom of the file, I put the date, then content. I use this system at work.
I do actually use the same concept of putting `TODO` `WIP` or `DONE` at the beginning of each task line, and I am usually using a task list with subheadings on any given day.
- Aperocky 3y agoLet a simple package organize the folder structure and date for you: https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli Or shell if you prefer that: https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh Been using this for 5 years+, and hopefully for decades more.
- robbintt 3y agoI will take a look -- however, since I only use a single file, it may not be needed.
- koch 3y agoSounds like you might be writing markwhen (though it expects a colon after each date or date range) https://github.com/mark-when/markwhen https://github.com/mark-when/markwhen
- robbintt 3y agoAdding a layer on top would defeat the simplicity.
