With the recent addition of diary functions to the agenda view mode in
org-mode, I find the easiest way of keeping a journal is to simply 'i
d' in the agenda view. If you've set up an org-mode diary file
(org-agenda-diary-file) which differs from the Emacs diary file, then
the diary insertion commands from the agenda view create quite nicely
formatted journal type of entries.
So, instead of using remember, simply pop up the agenda view ('C-c a'
in my case) and type 'i d' for adding an entry for today. For a
journal entry for any other day, do 'C-c a', then 'j' followed by a
date specification to jump to a particular day and finally 'i d' to
insert a diary/journal entry.
HTH,
eric
