Would be cool if it opened a single "notes.txt" document instead. That way you could bring up your notes, append what you want, and save/close it with a single hotkey.

Even seemingly minor actions that only take a few seconds can build up over time and generate a sense of frustration, especially when they become frequent. Personally, I have found that dealing with this kind of friction can erode my overall productivity, as I unconsciously shy away from these tedious tasks that involve manual repetition, no matter how small. That's why many of us choose to invest a little time in coming up with these small automations that free us from the clutches of monotonous and repetitive tasks, allowing us to focus on the core of our work.
