What is interstitial journaling?
Interstitial journaling is the simple habit of writing a short, timestamped note in the gaps between tasks — what you just finished, what you're about to start, and the stray thoughts in between. Practitioners use it to regain focus after interruptions, reduce the cost of context switching, and end the day with a clear record of where the time actually went.
Logbook is built for that rhythm. Open it, type a line, get back to work. The timestamps take care of themselves.
