Daily Notes... again!

Let me try this again… For some reason I felt like deleting my post last night, but now I wish I could undo that!

Anyways, how do you all use Bike for daily notes? I’ve been dumping everything into one file and focusing in on each days bullet point. I was wondering if anyone had a different system, or leveraged links to keep a “journal” file with links to each of your daily notes?

I have a pretty disorganized “dump” file. It’s organized more by project then by date.

If you did want a system to organize more by date your could try this “today” script and see if that helps:

I have a similar Shortcut action … hears a copy:

I have been using the Today script for close to a year now and it works wonderfully for me, especially with the new navigation bar. I tried the Shortcuts version, but it doesn’t integrate with the Scripts version of dates I started with (puts the dates in a different place). I’ve been thinking that at the end of my academic year, I switch my journaling to the Shortcuts version.

This version of the Today shortcut should be compatible. The script and shortcut were just using different generated ID’s.

Nice work Jesse. This shortcuts version of Today integrates perfectly with the year’s worth of dated journals I’ve been working with in Bike. Now I’ll be able to abandon the script version in my daily set up and rely solely on Shortcuts, which I prefer because it’s more intuitive for non-programmers like myself. Thank you. Do you ultimately plan to integrate this Today shortcut into the Bike app page in shortcuts or will it remain separate?

Good idea, I’ve just updated that one.

And I forgot to add that the time stamp was a nice addition :+1:t3:

I’ve already worked through a morning’s worth of projects in Bike (I like to compose in Bike and then move the work to wherever it needs to go, often just leaving it in Bike to return to on another day. I keep 4-5 project tabs open and have made a habit of copying row link from the journal into the project tab to keep track of files (I’ll also use hookmark for the more important projects. It’s a nice workflow.
