That above is an equivalent example using normal timestamps.

On my use case. I have seven categories on this file
for example: chores, work, home, family. I add entries for all this
categories every week (I just try to add entries once a week if possible
on the weekends).

In case I pick normal timestamps I would need to yank 5 lines and edit 2
lines one at the top and other at the bottom of the yanked region. On my
current worflow using diary-style timestamps I just need to add a line
at the bottom and edit that line.

The advantage of using normal timestamps is I could append the line at
the end of the file. On diary-style timestamps I should do occur for the
category and after it C-c C-n for appending at the end of the current subtree.

For my use case I should keep working with diary-style timestamps but
YMMV.

Thanks guys for the help, the tips and the explanation.

Best Regards
