Creating a Log File in Notepad
Here's a nifty little trick that you can perform in Notepad, the ultra basic text editor that ships with the Windows operating system:
- Tap the WINDOWS key to open the Windows Start Menu. Alternatively, you can use the keystroke of WINDOWS key R to launch the Run dialog box.
- Type Notepad into the live search field, ensure that it is selected and press the ENTER key to launch the program. If you are using the Run dialog box method, type in Notepad and press ENTER.
- With focus in the main Notepad text editor window, type .LOG on the first line. (Must be typed in exactly: dot, capital L, capital O, capital G)
- Press ALT to move to the Menu Bar - ah, remember those? - and open the File menu.
- ARROW DOWN to the Save As... option and activate this with the ENTER key.
- Give your LOG file a name and save it to an appropriate location.
- Close Notepad and navigate to the text file you have just created.
- Open the text file and you should notice that a date and time stamp has been automatically inserted for you. It will be in the following format: HH:MM DD/MM/YYYY (for example: 09:46 16/03/2015)
- Every time you open the file, another time and date stamp is automatically added. So, if you need keep an accurate, simple time log for any reason this is one way to do it!

That's right, if you're writer on a budget, you don't need to spend any money buying expensive writing software or apps. Instead, you can use the text editor that comes free with your operating system.
Just open up Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on a Mac. I like plain text editors for writing something short quickly and easily, without thinking much about it. I wrote a blog post about the benefits of using plain text editors as writing software.
Use for: writing whatever, wherever
