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.
