I have similar ideas. At the beginning (20 years ago) I use windows notepad.exe. It has a trick that if you put “.LOG” on the top of a txt file, every time you open it with notepad, it appends current date to it. Later on I switched to Evernote, then Apple Notes.app and settled.
Recently I added a service with Automator to allow me insert current date to a note. Quite convenient.

F5 inserts the current date / time in Notepad.
