fzf is really cool to make simple TUIs. Out of the box it already ships zsh integration to fuzzy-search history with ctrl+r. I don't know what I'd do without this. I also have a short script, `re` to fuzzy-search a local git repository: fd -IH -t d '^\.git$' --format '{//}' ~/src | fzf | sed "s|^$HOME|~|" | wl-copy --primary This copies the path into clipboard. I typically paste it immediately, so that `cd $PATH_TO_REPO` ends up in history for next time. I use zk[1] to organise my notes, and it uses fzf to provide a TUI for fuzzy-search notes too. The way in which fzf is re-usable by different scripts and tools is really neat. I the world of GUIs, we don't really have composable re-usable components like this. [1]: https://github.com/zk-org/zk

I use org-mode with the journal plugin, but I'm soon going to switch to zk[0]. My technique is called interstitional journaling[1], and I keep track of my location (I travel a lot) and the date in the header of the file, which gets generated by org. You can set up an interstitional journal in anything though, Logseq[2] supports it out of the box.
