While I write a lot with pens and physical notebooks, I still have digital management system. One of them is the digital bullet journal. I find that private Github Issues can be a good alternative of digital bullet journal.
Here is my setup.
Every day, create a new issue named “How to make YYYY-MM-DD a meaningful day?”.
In the content, list at most 3 important tasks to do that day.
Write down events scheduled on that day.
Mark a
---
horizontal ruleWrite misc tasks that wish to be done as well that day. Make it short.
Make sure “Check future log” is in the misc task.
That’s it for the beginning of the day. Now during the day, when remarkable things happens, comment on the issue. This could be a handwritten note, a photo of the day, a quick thoughts.
At the end of the day, give a emoji feedback to the issue and write a conclusion, either handwritten or directly typing in the comment box. Then close the issue.
At last, save the web page as .webarchive
format for future offline reading.

Docket is a CRUD API testing service. Good for quick testing. The only problem is they limit the API calls to 50 per day. But it is open sourced so you may just setup the playground server yourself.
