    Personal Wiki for Vim

    Said that, the above solutions require time to learn and maintain your custom options, so forget them if you need something easier and with basically not much customisation needed as most common options and needs are already catered for and ready to use for journaling (well, you'll still need to add a single line to your vimrc to activate the plugin but that's it). I'm talking about vimwiki, start here https://vimwiki.github.io/ and then see how other people use it. In that way, you can continue using vim basically in the way you are used to, but with greater enhancements for note taking, diary and even stories linked to each other without much effort. You don't even need to use their wiki format, it can work in markdown as well and export to html and other formats.
