First, I would suggest a different organisation. You are 5 headlines
deep, because you chose this kind of setup, but with some tweaking, you
could avoid this:
a) Give each Project an own file.
b) Don't give dates a headline.
So, you would have a file like this:
* Project 1
** History/Overview
** Journals
*** DONE Main thing I did 1
<2010-03-27 Sat>
*** TODO Stuff 2
*** TODO Stuff 3
If you want to review what you did on a specific day, use the agenda for
this. For "substuff", if it is really not worth a separate task, there
are lists.

I do not understand, did you miss this:
,----[ (info "(org)The very busy C-c C-c key") ]
| - If the cursor is in a plain list item with a checkbox, toggle the
| status of the checkbox.
`----
To make a checkbox without typing "[ ]", use C-c C-x C-b:
,----[ (info "(org)Checkboxes") ]
| `C-c C-x C-b'
| Toggle checkbox status or (with prefix arg) checkbox presence at
| point. With double prefix argument, set it to `[-]', which is
| considered to be an intermediate state.
| - If there is an active region, toggle the first checkbox in
| the region and set all remaining boxes to the same status as
| the first. With a prefix arg, add or remove the checkbox for
| all items in the region.
|
| - If the cursor is in a headline, toggle checkboxes in the
| region between this headline and the next (so _not_ the
| entire subtree).
|
| - If there is no active region, just toggle the checkbox at
| point.
`----
If you need this very often, you may want to bind this to an easier
keycombo.
Did this help so far?
