Logseq Interstitial journaling

latest release version Forks Stargazers Issues MIT License

Interstitial journaling is a productivity technique created by Tony Stubblebine. To my knowledge, it’s the simplest way to combine note-taking, tasks, and time tracking in one unique workflow. -- Interstitial journaling: combining notes, to-do & time tracking - Ness Labs

This plugin helps you quickly create time-stamps, without interupting your thought. As a bonus it can start your day with a quote, or a note to self.

It is true. I am 217% happier now.

Using the plugin

This plugin makes it just a tiny bit easier to use Logseq as an interstitial journal. Two shortcuts that create timestamps, either as a header, or just (bold) text.

Next, it makes it possible to send a note to yourself (write yesterday, see today), or just add a random note to a template.

Adding timestamps to your journal

interstial journal example

  • Use Ctrl-t to insert a timestamp in the current block/line.
  • Use Ctrl-Shift-t to insert a timestamped heading in the current block/line.

In the settings you can reverse this, so the default Ctrl-t becomes a timestamped heading.

Configuration

settings

Under settings you can change the default timestamp, and if you want to use bold text.

You can choose Markdown or Org-mode, depending on what you use.

The level of the heading, where the timestamp is inserted, defaults to 3 (### HH:MM <optional title>)

New: It is possible to insert custom markup around the time.

Example: [<time>] this wil print: [20:23]

Leave blank for default timestamp.

Templates

insert templates

The default way to use the plugin is place one or more placeholders in your daily template. Then, when the template is run at midnight, a random note and a note to self are block-linked into place.

The plugin gives to commands to insert a "note to self" or a "random quote".

The idea is to put these in a template, and then, when the template is executed, the result will be a linked block to the not e or quote.

Usage:

type: /Create Note to Self or /Create Random Quote, and it will insert a code-snippet that will then be run with the template.

The default placeholder looks like this:

  • {{renderer :interstitial, yesterday, ntnds}}
  • {{renderer :interstitial, random, quote}}

yesterday Will backlink a block from yesterday, random finds any block in your graph with the specified tag. Next you can alter ntnds and quote, you can choose any tag you use in your system, these are just the ones I use 😁.

These placeholder are supposed to go in your (daily) template, but they will happily work anywhere you put them. If you put them in a template they will wait running, until the template is activated.
