You do not. All the Journal notes are year agnostic. When making an entry just insert the year (and day of the week for daily notes) as a header. For example, in today’s journal entry you would have:
23 November
2024 Sat <— you add this
Blah, blah, blah.
When next year rolls around you will add 2025 Sun as a new header. So you end up with this:
23 November
2025 Sun
Aliens 👽 exist!
2024 Sat
I wonder if ETs are for real. 😳
