Logseq daily note is a key component in how the developers see the working routine of its users. From the first day I tried it, I wondered how effective Logseq would be as a daily planner.
While I don’t personally use Logseq. I think it is a very capable application for anyone who likes to take more structured notes.
Why you would use Logseq for keeping a digital Daily Journal
As I stated in the introduction to this blog post, at the heart of the Logseq workflow sits the daily note, which could be used to keep a digital journal.
Every day that you use Logseq, it will open the journal and create a note for that day. In it, you can write down your thoughts, create tasks and reminders, and link to any new ideas you create, allowing you to have a chronological reference to when that idea came to you if needed.
At times, I find it useful to explore my thoughts or feelings by writing about them. What better place for this than the daily journal? One that you can tie in with your longer Personal Knowledge Management system, tying your story and thoughts in with your knowledge.
I use it to track my thoughts on new things I’m trying, such as new applications I’m looking at for possible content ideas.
The impact of Logseq being an outliner on your journal
Logseq is an Outliner application. An outliner application structures your thoughts and ideas in a structured way using a hierarchical structure by using bulleted lists.
An outliner-based journal could well offer some of the benefits of keeping a bullet journal. It would allow you to capture ideas rapidly in short sentences and quickly capture how one idea relates to another using the hierarchy capabilities.
However, there are times when you want to write your journal in a longer form, as it can help you think something through as you write, and this wouldn’t work so well on Logseq.
You can find out more about Outliners in our introductory guide.
Conclusion
Logseq would be a good choice for keeping a journal for anyone who wants to capture their thoughts and ideas rapidly.
It would work well if you already have a Personal Knowledge Management system in Logseq or are planning to create one.
After all, the journal is the place where you think through the interesting thoughts, ideas, and problems of your life. It is the place where you track your journey through life.
