Transform Notepad into Your Personal Diary with This Simple Trick

MAGIC #4

There is a simple feature in Notepad that can make it work like a personal diary for you. Here is how to go about it:

1. Firstly, open a blank Notepad file.
2. Now write ".LOG" as the first line in the file, and then press enter. Save the file and close it.
3. Open the Notepad file now, and you will find that the current date and time have been appended at the end, and the cursor is on the next line.
4. Type your notes and then save and close the file.
5. Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process; it appends the date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor below it.
