The world of Personal knowledge management is all about capturing information. There is a lot of guidance on using a Daily note to record in detail each day named with the current date. A daily note, as a record of everything done is not the same as a Journal entry.
I understand a Daily note provides context for when something occurred, yet I treat my journal entries in the main as exploratory and reflective. True, there are many with a record of the day’s happenings, but they are important happenings.
Perhaps I don’t yet see the benefit in tracking everything. It feels very messy to me. I suspect I never will.
I name each Journal entry with the current date and I do not want each journal entry to reflect the whole day. Two notes with the same name format would be confusing.
