I go for long walks at night a few times a week and find myself journaling a lot then. It got annoying to stop my walk to type out a thought so much, eventually I started primarily voice typing instead.
But I still had to stop and pull up the Google form, then start voice typing, fix any mistakes, and then continue the walk. So I moved on to just turning on a recording app on during the walks and just start talking whenever I want without having to stop or pull out my phone.

I transcribe the audio file when I get home and add it with a summary to the journal.
Now I keep a livestream going while I'm working at my PC and transcribe and summarize whatever happens there too.
It’s designed for exactly this kind of use—hands-free, continuous voice capture while you go about your day. You get access to your raw data through an open API, so there’s no lock-in.
(Disclaimer: I work there)
> The Pendant syncs with the native phone app. We currently only have a Limitless iOS app, and the Limitless Android app will be built in [~Q3 2025].
I made Stardate[0] for my own voice journaling and use it similarly. I track how much my dog weighs, sailing hours and notes, and new issues I find in the app. Recently I used it to make a daily checklist on paper by feeding the notes into LaTeX[1]. There's just so much to explore here!

It also uses Whisper which is great at transcribing. It's gotten relatively popular so it's turned into my full time job now!
For now it only supports insights with Anthropic Claude 3.7 and there are some must have features that are missing, but I've got a prototype in a weekend and I'm proud of it :)
TL;DR use Apple shortcuts to transcribe my recording using OpenAI whisper model and add it as an entry to Notion.
The key difference is that there's close to zero manual intervention. I have all the logs in Notion and I have another shortcut to query these journal entries again using ChatGPT in Apple shortcuts.

Surprised this didn't end with a soft sell on an e-book course.
Look, yes, the daytrading field is weird. You don't have to like it. (I don't either). But... that's an interesting workflow. I'm glad they did share it, I hadn't thought of that approach, and it might be genuinely useful.
Last I checked "interesting" was the criteria for posts here.
