Using Notpad As Diary

A simple way to record what you are doing at certain times is with a .LOG file in Notepad. Using this method, each time you open and close Notepad, a timestamp is created to time your activities more efficiently. Simply open the document, record what you did, save the file, and then close it.

1. Open Notepad ( Press Windows key + r and type notepad and hit Enter).

2. On the very first line write .LOG and save the file with anyname but with .txt extension and close it.

3. Now whenever you open the file in Notepad, a timestamp will be inserted.

Note: If you are in any text document in Notepad and decide you need to add the current timestamp, just hit F5. The timestamp will automatically be created.
