I really enjoy the obsidian daily notes feature for this [1]. It's a dedicated button to create a new note with a title of your choosing. I typically do YYYY-MM-DD d, so 2024-12-1 mon.

I'm not sure about the time tracking though. Is this more for people working on contract for billing? I see the value in having the data but collecting the data seems difficult.

Org-mode! There. I said it. Now this thread has the obligatory post. Show 1 reply

I just use Logseq (+ syncthing for sync) with extensive tagging (thousands of tags added a year) + a random Pomodora app that keeps records and descriptions of each Pomadora. Simple and effective Show 1 reply

I too save information that may have future value in a textfile. I too am managing knowledge!

for command lists i moved away from notes just create long and descriptive aliases on my shell rc file which i already move everywhere anyway.

with the extra advantage of recalling them with tabtab instead of never remembering to read said notes :)

What is that keyboard on the top image? Looks beautiful! Show 1 reply
