Your notes should be appendonly, meaning you only add new information as opposed to overwriting it.

It's one of those things that's obvious once you start doing it, but can take some getting used to. The easiest way to take appendonly notes is by basing them out of a Daily Note.

A Daily note is an ongoing note with a new section for each day that you can work out of. In here you can put anything from daily logs to task lists and things you learn.

This video is for anyone who is new to the Daily Notes format. It gives you a place to start, and shows some examples of how you can take notes each day.
