Hello,
I have the following setup in order to keep cronological notes.
* In my capture templates I have the following :
#+begin_src elisp
("j" "Journal entry" entry
(file make-journal-file-name )
"* %? :journal:REVIEW: \n %u")
#+end_src
and I've defined the function like so :
#+begin_src elisp
(defun make-journal-file-name ()
(concat "~/Planner/Journal/" (format-time-string "%Y.%m.%d.%a" nil) ".org"
)
)
#+end_src
That way, to create a new entry I just hit 'C-c c j'
which gives me the following :
* :journal:REVIEW:
[2012-09-20 Thu]
in the file ~/Planner/Journal/2012.09.20.Thu.org
Please let me know if any of that is unclear.
Hope that helps,
-T
