Some Crude Ideas for Journal Tiddler

[Mohammad]

I like to get your idea/opinion for having a Journal tiddler

• Tiddlywiki has Journal tiddler
  • has keyboard shortcuts Alt+J
  • can be simply customized

I am working on a simple idea

1. have a Journal viewteplate
2. use icon with Journal tiddlers
3. use color
4. be able to add template for creating new Journal

What I did?

I created a Journal viewtemplate to list at the bottom of Journal tiddlers

1. all tasks have a due date equal to date of creation of Journal tiddler
2. all activity are done on date equal to date of creation of Journal tiddler (means tiddlers created or modified on the sameday)

I call the first item Today tasks and the second Today activities

What do you think?

Ciao Mohammad

I glad to see you want to open this up more!

Slightly “left-field” (meaning I don’t see “Journaling” as one method; it is dozens )

FYI, in practical terms these matter to me …

• Journal for a DAY - useful for an overview

• Journal record for an EXACT TIME (to the minute) - useful for tracking precisely events you need monitor

• Journal record by TITLE THEME - useful for tracking specific issues like “How is my blood pressure?”

Best wishes,
TT

Thank you @TiddlyTweeter

• In Thinkup plugin I create a Journal tiddler by alt+J or by clicking the new journal * button
• It has smart tab, one of them is Tiny Todolist
• I can enter small sentences, phrases, note and it record

• The Todolist can have a better name here!
• See how Todolist plugin can show date and time

@TiddlyTweeter Idea for a Journal for a DAY and Journal record for an EXACT TIME (to the minute) works perfect with Section Editor — create, edit, fold, manage sections Patchwork option. I just tested it out in my Journal wiki. I added field se-type with filter of below to my journal tiddler for today.

[prefix[16th November 2021]]

Then I created a tiddler with the title and a header of “16th November 2021 11:52” and it showed up at the bottom of my current journal entry for today.

I used this for the new minute journal tiddler button, but I don’t know how to get it to auto-fill the date/time with the header in the body text.

<$button class="tc-btn-invisible" tooltip="New Journal Minute Entry" >
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler"  title=<<now "DDth MMM YYYY 0hh:0mm">> tags="" text="
!!

" />
{{$:/core/images/timestamp-on}}
</$button>

Tag it “$:/tags/PageControls”

In Thinkup I have added a Journal tiddler with Viewtemplate to

• display all tasks with due date = Journal date
• display all tiddlers modified (and created) on the Journal date
• add Interstitial journaling at the bottom of Journal tiddler
