I want to know how to configure Org-mode to write diary with a easy way.
I hope someone can provide his way.
Here is what I think what Org-mode write diary should have.
- [ ] *open/create* a buffer to write current day's diary quickly.
- [ ] *navigate* diary entry like viewing day entries in Calendar.
- [ ] *manage* diary files with some kind of style like (date, folder, etc).
- [ ] *search* diary content.
If you have some hints, welcome to tell me, thanks in advance.

I've kept a diary in org-mode for a year and a half now, like this -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* July
** 26 Sat
blah de blah, etc!
** 27 Sun
not yet, it isn't here yet!
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Using that way it is auto-menued [is there such a word? I can't think of
a better way of putting it, sorry!] with "Imenu" so it is easy to go
back to a specific day. But I have found that I can't have more that 3
months worth of postings in a buffer, without things slowing down and
seeming to get slightly corrupted. So at the end of every quarter, I
transfer postings over from "2014a.org" to "2014.org", which isn't very
often used or accessed, but its available if its needed.
Hope it helps
Sharon.

Set up a capture template using a date tree. For example, this is taken
directly from section 9.1.3 of the org-mode manual:
,----
| ("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/org/journal.org")
| "* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")
`----
> - [ ] *navigate* diary entry like viewing day entries in Calendar.
Use the imenu menu or just fold and unfold the outline.

Add the file to the variable "org-agenda-text-search-extra-files" and/or
set up a custom agenda view to search the file.

This org-capture looks a way, I want to try it.
But need a more advanced way, because a single file for write diary is
really not a good idea. I will be slow. (I think....)
Maybe add a logic in the org-capture template.
I'm trying this way.
