I'm using orgmode as well on my emacs install under macOS. By using a simple org capture template bound to SPC-o-j (space, org, journal) a time stamped entry into my journal.org file is relatively painless. Really loving using emacs on macOS too, once I figured out the home-brew installation and configuration.

Would you be willing to share the elisp config in your .emacs file that enables your org capture template?
