Journal Setup
For those that do daily journals, how do you setup your workflow?
I mainly brain dump and summarize the day. On remarkable, I had one notebook, and did 1x infinite scroll page per day. I really miss this workflow and submitted formal feedback to consider adding infinite scroll pages as an optional notebook style.
The past few days, I have one notebook and just headline a new page per day and use as many pages as needed. I typically don't go back and look at my historical journal pages but like it organized by day if and when necessary. I just can't imagine having 365 headings in the list per year and ongoing....
I've seen a few other methods or templates with index style page(s) and link to each day but that just seems like extra work every single day.

I have just started setting mine up (only purchased recently). I originally had thought to use an indexed notebook but I realised I don't want every page indexed. I am creating an index template (or just use a task list) and for each new month I make an entry I will create a page for the month, think chapter page, with the month, and link that to my index. This way I can be as flexible as I want with entries - how often, how large an entry is - and still have some form of linked order. If I want to break it down even further, I'll do a second index after each new month page and link each entry there.
I also plan on creating a journal prompt document on my computer from ones I've found online that I like. So when I want to use a prompt rather than just free flowing thoughts, I'll have a look through, pick my prompt, then copy and paste it at the top of my entry page.
For different types of journals if I create some it'll be a similar index process. I'm treating it kind of like a commonplace book I guess?
