Data Entry in Journal or Pages?

[risk]

I’ve been using Logseq primarily for journaling and logging things like vehicle and home repairs, change logs, etc. in pages/tags. For my use cases, is there an advantage to entering data in Journals instead of directly on their designated pages? Other than a quick dump into one place, I don’t see why I should enter data in Journals.

Please share your thoughts. I’m still figuring things out. Thanks.

Adding entries to the Journal page helps you keep track of WHEN the entry was performed (automatically)

If it’s something that should be permanent, or has a solid foundation, I put it in a page. I use Journals for ad-hoc style note taking until I have enough data to create the permanent page.

From Noting Meetings :

Daily Agenda is for keeping together same-day events.

• Almost everything begins there

From Resources to become a better learner :

Dates are (very) convenient (and yet) illusions.

• Usually we are not immediately sure of what concept a note is about

From Storing information on journal pages vs dedicated files :

Users who skip the journal miss chances of thinking out of the box. Cause when a note is put directly in a dedicated page, it is hard to imagine it somewhere else.

From Feedback on approach to studying information heavy texts :

Separate the note-taking phase from the note-organizing phase.
