I use the following capture rule to add entries to my journal (equivalent to your lab book): #+begin_src emacs-lisp ("j" "journal" entry (file+datetree+prompt "~/s/notes/journal.org") "* %(format-time-string \"%H:%M\") %^{Entry} %^G\n%i%?") #+end_src You could have two such capture rules, one for notes and one for TODO items. To add notes to the TODO items, you could use the logging capability so that org prompts for a note every time a TODO item changes state. Have a look at org-log-state-notes-into-drawer. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.92.1, Org release_8.3.4-668-g809a83
