Keeping an interstitial journal in Roam Research
- Track time. Type /time to insert the current time, then type whatever you are thinking about.
- Track tasks. Type /todo to create to-do items.
- Track content.
- Track ideas. Similarly, if you think of something else you’d like to do today, just add it as a to-do.
- Track well-being. I like to start my work day with a quick note checking in on how I feel, anything that’s been sometimes literally keeping me up at night, any major roadblock I’m anticipating for the day.

I genuinely feel silly writing out these instructions. It’s an incredibly simple system to make your journal more actionable—or to actually start a journaling practice. As always, it may not be for everyone, but it’s done wonders for me. I still use Plus Minus Next journaling for my weekly review, and interstitial journaling makes it even easier to go back to see what went well and what didn’t during your week.
