What's the easiestquickest way to add text to a file from the command line?

Occasionally I have a thought or note that I want to dumpwrite into a file while I am at the terminal. I would want these notes all in the same file, just listed one after the other. I would also like a date / time tag on each one.

Is it possible to do this without having to open the file each time? Can I just enter it into the terminal and have it appended to the file each time with a command or script?

I am using GNU BASH.
