Is keeping daily notes separate a best practice?

Maybe my idea for Daily Notes will be helpful:

I have 3 different areas for which I make daily journal entries:

Daily Thought Collection
Fitness
Business

Each area has different amounts of content per day.
For the 1st area, I also use a Apple shortcut to jot down thoughts on the go with my Iphone and insert them there.

Goals:

  1. I would like to see the thoughts for each area in a note chronologically.
  2. The contents of the respective day from all 3 areas are to be displayed in my daily notes.
  3. from each area only the current day should be shown in the Daily-Note.

Implementation:
I create a note for each area.
In the notes there is then one heading per day:
# February
## [[2022-02-10]]
Notes from this day
### Sub-Topic 1
### Sub-Topic 2
## [[2022-02-09]]
Anything noted under this heading will “show up” in the respective Daily - Note.
With the month heading, I can navigate more easily in the note.

I use the plug-ins:

  • Daily Notes
  • Calendar
  • Templater

I have a template for Daily Notes:
I have the following content there:

Daily Note

![[Daily Note#<% tp.date.now(“YYYY-MM-DD”) %>]]

Fitness

![[My Fitness#<% tp.date.now(“YYYY-MM-DD”) %>]]

Business

![[Business#<% tp.date.now(“YYYY-MM-DD”) %>]]

  1. I create one Daily Note per day.

If entries have been made for the day in the respective notes, the contents of this day are displayed in the Daily Note.
