Logseq Interstitial journaling

Interstitial journaling is a productivity technique created by Tony Stubblebine. To my knowledge, it’s the simplest way to combine note-taking, tasks, and time tracking in one unique workflow. -- Interstitial journaling: combining notes, to-do & time tracking - Ness Labs

Using the plugin

This plugin makes it just a tiny bit easier to use Logseq as an interstitial journal.

By default, it will add time stamps to top-level blocks of your journals, however, this can be turned off in the settings.

Automatic timestamps on templates

You can mark block by adding the property interstitial-template:: true to blocks. The behavior will be the same as for the Journal page: Only top-level child blocks of that block get timestamped.

Adding timestamps to your journal

• By default, you can use Ctrl-t to insert a timestamp in the current block/line.

Configuration

The recommended usage is to do pure interstitial journaling on your journal pages and link them to your actual "knowledge nodes" this plays nicely with the graph view as journal pages are automaticallly exluded. If you prefer another workflow however you can turn off the automatic timestamps.

Under settings, you can change the default timestamp (e.g. **HH:MM** if you want to use bold text).

Leave blank for default timestamp.
