I go for a low-fi approach: it is a single text file.

$ notes

appends a new line, current date like Mon 05 Oct 2020 10:20:47 AM EDT another new line and a set of === as a separator and moves the editor cursor to the bottom. So I can immediately type.

If I type

$ notes So that was weird

then it will take whatever I typed at the command line and append that as well allowing me to continue to type in the editor.

Finally I use :tag to freetag notes so I can easily search through notes based on the topics.

I figure eventually I might figure out a better system but so far this one worked very well.
