I also use datetrees regularly. I have this in my capture templates:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates
(quote
("o" "Old Journal" entry (file+datetree+prompt "diary-runx.org")
"* %i%?")
("O" "Old Journal with link" entry (file+datetree+prompt "diary-runx.org")
"* %i%?\n%a")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "diary-runx.org")
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i")
("J" "Journal with link" entry (file+datetree "diary-runx.org")
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")))
#+end_src
Typical usage for a trivial topic: I watch a movie that I like, I write
a quick review in movies.org, I mark the title of the movie, and capture
with 'J'. It gives me an entry with the highlighted title and a link to
the review.
Less trivial usage: as a meeting start, I start a capture with 'j', and
C-u C-c C-c to jump to the diary file where I can take notes.
