Looking create a macro that adds a new line WITHIN a cell, Starting by adding the current date, then i add notes

My failed Code resulting from "recording" of keystrokes:
Sub dw()
'
' dw Macro


'
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"10/3/2019-> Lead team to improve with recent suggestions" & Chr(10) & "10/7/2019-> "
Range("J22").Select
End Sub

What is actually needed, steps:
From current cell, F2 edit current cell
Alt+Enter (adds new line)
clt + ; (auto fill with the current date)
"-> " for separator text
Enter.
At this point I'd F2 and begin taking notes on the new line.
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
How about:

Code:
Sub dw()

    ActiveCell = ActiveCell & vbCrLf & Date & " -> "
    
End Sub
