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.

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

It starts to become a burden to open these files to make entries, so you create a terminal alias to do it. Then writing the entries becomes tedious so you make a macro to write a timestamp and put you in edit mode so you can just start typing the entry. Then you move computers and it gets tiresome moving the files around.

There. I said it. Now this thread has the obligatory post.

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

I like the idea of a stream of knowledge in one file, I usually used the Saved Messages in Telegram for that.
I'd rather use Markdown though, for the formatting capabilities alone.

I do pretty much the same with a file that I called worklog.txt
Days separated with a blank line, and starting with date.
Then I use initial spaces to differentiate between task, comments on this task and what is needed to do to finish the task.
Pretty easy to keep it consistent, and the use of spaces allow to easily identify the order of importance in each subset.

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 :)

Still using and paying for noteplan for a few years now. Works really well, and storage and syncing can be done anywhere (local, dropbox, icloud, whatever)

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