snsokstan 32 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I use EN to keep a daily journal. Right now I have to create a new note, call up my custom journal template, enter my thoughts, assign a tag and file it on my Journal notebook. I do this each day. Is there a way I can pin a template to my home page with appropriate tags and notebook name already assigned and then file it? Ideally I would be presented with a new clean note based on this template each day. I guess I could use the scratch pad each day and convert it to a note but I wouldn't have the templated formatting. Screenshot of template attached. "Home" changes a lot about how I think of using EN. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 6,844 Posted February 18, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted February 18, 2021 You can't pin a template, but you can pin any note (just one, but better than n-one). If this is the note you need the most, pin it there, go to it first thing every day and save a copy from this "template" note as your "note of the day". The pinned note serves as your template.

snsokstan 32 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 @PinkElephant and @DTLow Thanks. I missed the "copy to" functionality. This will work. 1 Link to comment

AlbertR 319 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I also keep a diary by automatically creating a note every day at 06:00 o'clock and assign it a template. Because this kind of automation cannot be done inside Evernote, I use IFTTT go create the note by... set up a free IFTTT account define a rule to get the Today's Weather Report from Weather Underground in an Evernote note in a specific notebook (i.e. Diary) thereby tag it with #NewDiary (or any other tag you like) use Filterize to attach your template by... set up a free Filterize account define a rule to change headline of new note if it is tagged with #NewDiary thereby attach a template of your own and remove tag #NewDiary use Evernote to define a saved search "notebook:Diary created:day" ... and pin it to the top of Your Favourites OK, setting up IFTTT and Filterize might take some time (depending on your experience 1-4 hours). But from that point on You have a One-Click-Solution to open a well formatted diary page to log your ideas 🙂 1 Link to comment
