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.

In my diary, it was a bit like that:
Day numberDay Month numberYear (ie, Wednesday 31 March 2011)
hours:minutes (07:11)
Once I'd written for a certain time, I'd write again the hours and minutes.
Now, in my "todo today" lists, I just write the Day numberDay Month numberYear and the time when I wake up.
destinyislands' way is really poetic.
