i want to start using r1 for writing journal / diary entries. i think the most useful way to do that is by simply creating a new note and then editing it on my phone in the rabbit hole. im wondering if anyone has other ideas to do this or is using r1 for writing a diary. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/9/957370cb02fda7a52b350b6575260a15878d16dc.jpeg) ---

Hi @ramses , you have mentioned a good use case and interesting question. For you I have tested the following prompts: > “Create a note called diary.” > “Add to my Note diary the sentence: XYZ” You can repeat the last prompt how often you want. **Example:** ![1000127185](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/d/d289a687401bb0b7a316af808c6c1abf1e0df4cf.jpeg) ![1000127190](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/b/bed2ee788345ea49b2193e8efaffd3e23320e650.jpeg) **In the rabbit-hole you get the following entries:** ![1000127187](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/8/832f81011292104a0f802261878a997197820f68.png) **In the last document you get the final result:** ![1000127188](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/5/55be0aca8fa7f95b50d3471bdd92f9e48f238536.png) Maybe this can help and support you. 🙂 ---

Thanks for the info, but when I created a note called “diary”, it saved it with some info about a diary, but when I wanted to add to the note, I said what you suggested **“Add to my note diary the sentence:”** Just said the word test and it created a new note, the wording has to be so on spot with r1 before if does something in Note. I could add something to my Medications List, but not this diary note. Any ideas? I noticed you might have done this in Terminal Mode. ---

Hi @RussOniPad , thank you for your reply.👍 In my first test I used tbe terminal mode, you are right. Do you get the same result by using **‘beta rabbit’**? ---

these are some of the prompts and the results I get: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/c/ca5cb64aa98504577b39b2443637fb7ccce3c1bd.png) `make a diary note` seems to work best for me. ---

I find it to be quite sporadic at the moment, as if there were several rabbit servers that handle the requests differently. ---

I LOVE this idea. I currently try to journal daily and so will try with the rabbit. ---

So…I am an advocate of this device. I have spent the two months I have had with it to understand it. The more precise the language, the better. I have precise language day to day - this helps. I do note that THE notes are sometimes lost to the Rabbit, I know its there but it can not find it, especially if it is a week or two old, or older. The Rabbit finds it easier to find it if you mention specific things in the note, or indeed the date it was noted. However, I feel it could be improved to find those notes. It is a function I would love to trust, as yet I do not entirely. I am sure it will come but I still use it as I am determined and realise what the device needs from you to be effective. ---

@wookiemaster something I’d love is to be able to also edit the note title on the journal. it is so limiting that I have to think so much ahead and make sure the note is perfectly named before actually using it. i wish for a bit more flexibility here.
