Hi,

How about using Org-Capture [1] for this?

You can have an entry like this on your templates:

("l" "Logbook" entry (file+datetree "~/org/logbook.org")
	 "* %?\nEntered on %U  %i\n"))

which would add an entry at the logbook.org file, under a date-time
tree, using the current date.

Cheers,
Georgios
