I have a very simple method of using org-mode for this kind of thing. I have the following remember template: (setq org-remember-templates '(("Journal" ?j "* %^{Journal Entry} %^g\n %T\n %i\n %? %a %&" "~/org/journal.org" "Journal")) ;; ... ) Then doing C-c r [j]ournal inserts an entry into my journal.org file under the Journal Heading. This file is then just a big linear list of headlines with notes under them. e.g. * Journal ** ... ** Emailed org-mode list with my journal setup <2009-12-20 Sun 16:48> I sometimes tag these entries also.... but generally avoid using them with TODO/DONE states. Is this the kind of thing you're looking for? R. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
