I use vimwiki[1] just for this "diary" functionality, with different days in different files. Can browse the directory in netrw to find a day's notes, and I have scripts that let me archive old stuff. I tend to put an "x" in front of completed lines (and move uncompleted lines forward to new days) so it is easy to detect and archive unactionable or "completed" files.

So many ways!
(f)find (a) (;)repeat
That would be the generic vim way. I could mash on semicolon to get to each instance of "a" in the line.
Most people use a plugin called easy motion instead.
You type some two character key command to start it. For me it's "ff".
After ff, i type any two characters. It will then highlight each place in the document that start with those two characters (think an inline table of contents) that I can then select.
