Here's a bit of wikitext that generates the list by year, month, and date:

<$list filter="2018 2019 2020" variable="year">
   <li><<year>></li>
   <ul>
      <$list filter="01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12" variable="month">
         <li><<year>>.<<month>></li>
         <ul>
            <$vars YYYYMM={{{ [<year>addsuffix<month>] }}}>
            <$list filter="[all[]tag[journal]sort[created]]">
               <$list filter="[<currentTiddler>get[created]prefix<YYYYMM>then<currentTiddler>]">
                  <li><$link/></li>
               </$list>
            </$list>
            </$vars>
         </ul>
      </$list>
   </ul>
</$list>

Notes:

1) The outermost $list widget shows bullet items for each listed year

2) The next $list widget shows bullet items (indented) for each month

3) The $vars combines the year and month into a 6-digit string, "YYYYMM"

4) The next $list gets all tiddlers tagged with "journal", sorted by creation date

5) The innermost $list finds tiddlers whose creation date starts with the current YYYYMM value

6) A bullet item (indented) link to each matching tiddler is then shown

enjoy,

If your tiddlers aren't tagged with "journal", they won't show up.  Here's a modification that will show tiddlers where the *title* starts with a date:

Replace the innermost part of the previously posted wikitext with:

            <$vars YYYYMM={{{ [<year>addsuffix[.]addsuffix<month>] }}}>
            <$list filter="[all[]prefix<YYYYMM>sort[]]">
               <li><$link/></li>
            </$list>
            </$vars>

Notes:

1) The YYYYMM variable now includes a dot (e.g., "YYYY.MM")

2) The $list finds all tiddlers whose *title* starts with the current YYYYMM value,  regardless of any tags.

Let me know how it goes...

P.S. Could you please stop posting screen snapshots unless the problem is related to the layout itself.  Instead, use words to describe what you see.

Thank you again, it worked! About the screenshot, sorry about that, idk how to put it in words but I'll keep it in mind.
