One useful addition for text file users: on Windows, create hotkey\macro timestamps using something like Autohotkey (https://autohotkey.com/)

3 letter hotkeys seem to work well - long enough to be unique without overlapping real words.

for instance, when I type ddd it automatically stamps this:

20250811 10:57 AM

then I type my note and can look back at what time\date it was.

sometimes I just need the date so that is dds (date-date-short) which gives

20250811

occasionally I just want the time so that's ttt

11:02:02 AM

I have many other 3 letter codes using Autohotkey to bring in frequently typed things too, useful in emails and such.

Since I think through typing, autohotkey has been a QoL helper.

On MacOS, TextExpander or Keyboard Maestro are great for this.
