I have a very simple method of using org-mode for this kind of thing.
I have the following remember template:
(setq org-remember-templates
'(("Journal" ?j "* %^{Journal Entry} %^g\n %T\n %i\n %? %a %&"
"~/org/journal.org" "Journal"))
;; ...
)
Then doing C-c r [j]ournal inserts an entry into my journal.org file
under the Journal Heading. This file is then just a big linear list
of headlines with notes under them.
e.g.
* Journal
** ...
** Emailed org-mode list with my journal setup
<2009-12-20 Sun 16:48>
I sometimes tag these entries also.... but generally avoid using them
with TODO/DONE states.
Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?
R.
