+Finally, recall what we discussed elsewhere in the manual about changing
+the file type and target directory
([[#h:f34b172b-3440-446c-aec1-bf818d0aabfe][Notes in multiple file types]]).
You
+basically ~let~ bind the relevant variables. Such bindings are specific
+to the function: they do not affect anything outside of it, so you can
+keep the defaults for your regular notes and use something different for
+your journaling. For example, the following snippet is like the
+previous sample of writing a journal entry and setting a timer, but it
+also uses a plain text file type and adds the new note to the
+=~/Documents/journal/= directory:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defun my-denote-journal-with-tmr-and-custom-type-and-dir ()
+ "Like `my-denote-journal-with-tmr' with custom type and directory."
+ (interactive)
+ (let ((denote-file-type 'text) ; it supports other file types as well: read
its doc string
+ (denote-directory "~/Documents/journal/"))
+ (denote
+ (format-time-string "%A %e %B %Y")
+ "journal")
+ (tmr 10 "Practice writing in my journal")))
+#+end_src
