You can use notepad create a log-type file that adds the current date and time each time the Notepad file is opened. Open Notepad and type .LOG on the first line, then save the file as whatever you want. Now every time you open the file the current date and time will be appended to it, which make it super-quick to create simple text log files for whatever you want.
