Journal entry dating system

[sidheblessed]

Lately I've been noticing how differently people date the entries in their journals. Some use a very simplistic system, such as my husband who just writes something like 16/03/11. I prefer to write out the full date, for example Wednesday, 16 March 2011. I've noticed some people include the full date, time and location, even the weather. I've definitely noticed the inclusion of the location more often in older published journals I've read.

So, what do you do? I guess I'm really asking what information you begin each journal entry with - just the numerical date, the full date or even more detail?

Thanks for indulging my tedious questioning.

My starts off Month name date year day, then I go down to the next line and write what day of the season it is, then skip down to the next line and write the lunar phase. It looks something like this:

December 22, 2011 Tuesday
2nd Day of Winter
Waning Crescent

then I'd skip down and number the entry and give it a title.

I have no idea why I started doing it that way. x-x Its actually a more simplified version of what I used to do, which included listing time and location too.
