I don’t typically create multiple entries for a given date in Day One. Rather, I just use Markdown and add bullets as things occur throughout the day, usually with a time stamp. e.g.:
– 8:20AM: made requested modifications to Joe’s SQL query
This is pretty basic stuff here but I wish that there was some way in Day One to automatically expand a time stamp but there isn’t and there’s no way to do so using iOS built-in keyboard shortcuts, either.
So this is a basic shortcut that captures the text in a dialog window, adds a bullet and time stamp, copies all of that to the clipboard and then opens Day One.
Refinements:
- Find a way to programmatically determine today’s Day One entry so that when Day One opens, it opens to the correct entry
- Modify shortcut so that it can all be done using siri with speech-to-text conversion
