not gonna lie this is driving me nuts i wanted a super simple work log without installing anything. someone told me about Notepads .LOG trick. create a new text file, type .LOG in uppercase as the very first line, save it, and close it. the next time you open it in Notepad, it automatically adds the current time and date at the end and puts your cursor below it.
Every time I open it, I get a fresh timestamp and just start typing. Also, F5 in Notepad inserts teh time and date anywhere. Decades-old features I never knew.
