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-run= x.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.
