I’ve struggled for a long time with paper scraps to keep track of what I’ve been doing and read about the following alias to add in your .bashrc

`alias did="vim +'normal Go' +'r!date' ~/did.txt"`

Then type `did` in your terminal and write what you just did.

More generally, you can get a great boost of productivity by mastering your text editor. I have a preference for Vim, but have nothing against emacs.
