I strongly disagree and would very much like a journal view. I often need to find what I did on a specific day. For example, just this week I have performed the following * where did I put those files I was given during a meeting last week (found meeting date on calender, searched for files created on this day) * give me all the PDFs that I read in the week leading up to X. X was a paper deadline, and I needed to check I had referenced all the material I had read.
