I usually understand reading scripts and have a high success rate on modifying & implementing them in alfred/hazel, shell…

Its like freecliming. If someone is climbing in front of me its easy to keep up :wink:

writing code from scratch I have very little experience

Thanks for sharing this. I also find journaling and context capturing to be hugely helpful for understanding how something played out so that I can learn from it. I’ll definitely be “stealing” some of these ideas. :pray:

Brother, sorry to say, but you need to know python to make something like this work. Just check some tutorials on youtube, maybe you can improve your skill for work! In the script to generate what you see on the picture are many my specific variables and paths. So I cannot share it with you, becouse you cannot read the code and edit it.

#29

Of course I can read and edit! I think that’s what I wrote earlier.

If you wouldn’t mind sharing your script I should be able to adapt it to my needs.

Would appreciate it a lot!

I think this is a wonderful approach; thanks for sharing. I do something very similar, using TextExpander (yes; not F/OSS, years of investment) but without the back-linking approach you’ve illuminated. And will now incorporate. The only other thing I do is maintain a GTD backlog, which functions somewhat like a ‘brain dump’ file that’s pinned (on 1Writer for mobile and on desktop) from which I pull to-do tasks into the Daily Log. The reason I moved to this approach was the occasional day where too many things came at once, or I didn’t have the opportunity to sit down and run the normal daily process. It gets those things out of my head if I don’t happen to have the time to process them normally.

TL;DR: Thanks for sharing.

would you be willing to share the :meet configuartion for espanso?

Thanks for sharing. I attend a lot of meetings and prior to Obsidian I used a simple folder structure to organise my meeting notes. Something like this:

/Meetings/1-1 Meetings//<date .md>
/Meetings/Committee//<date.md>

I like the idea of writing meeting notes directly into my Daily notes, but I’m unsure how to find all meetings relating to Committee x, or person y. Presumably tags could be used, but I’m a little uncomfortable about not having a separate note for each meeting.

In your process do you link to a separate meeting note, or is everything in the body of the Daily note?

#33

Not in every case.

This is very late, but I link to other notes all the time. I have a certain meeting where I have to keep the notes in an external wiki. I simply just link to the site, but I keep the fact that meeting took place with certain people at a certain time in my Daily Notes for future reference.

#35

Wouldn’t this be typed “:bc”, followed by a space?

Thanks mitzimbj

@mitzimbj I know this is old, but I just discovered Obsidian and this post in particular has been awesome. I am curious if your workflow has changed over the last months since this was originally posted and also if you keep personal tasks and brain dump in this daily log or if you use additional document(s) for that. Thanks for sharing all of this! I am already implementing much of this!

@somnicide I still use this, not as diligently as I once did. Basically, I stopped using this as a Task Manager and just went back to Todoist. Most everything else is the same. The Calendar plugin has made managing this WAY better. I look forward into delving into other plugins to see if I can find my organizational mojo again.

Cool, thanks for the follow up. I have been enjoying it as a task manager - I have been reviewing the previous day in the morning and then copying over and undone tasks. I have done some evolution but am really liking where I am at with this one, so thanks again!

@mitzimbj Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
I’ve been using Daily notes for almost a year now. But ran into a problem of daily notes being useless in Graph view

DailyNotes-GraphView
DailyNotes-GraphView785×490 103 KB

I mean useless when we think about @nickmilo’s LYT active note linking also from and within Graph view. Issue is that note created automatically contains only it’s date in a file name, and if it’s changed or amended with something more meaningful it looses it’s connection with Daily Note calendar.
Wonder if anyone has any ideas or workarounds via day template to fix this, to have both active Daily notes calendar AND linkable names in Graph view?

#41

You can use the filter to filter out all daily notes from the graph.

#42

But I need exactly the opposite, I want them in a graph view BUT with titles which make sense.

#43

What about aliases? Don’t know if that is an answer to your question though.

#44

I sort of have the same issue. I want to have a custom name in my daily note (some thing meaningful so I could search and check when I review instead of just date number)
But if I changed the name of the file then it loses the link to calendar plugin. I guess maybe we could use meta data behind the scene instead of just file name for linking? Don’t know how to do that yet.

I don’t use Daily Notes a knowledge and therefore remove them from the knowledge graph. They are where I capture the events of the day. Once captured, important things are synthesized into more complete thoughts in separate notes that are linked back to the day. Conversation’s I’ve had with people are linked via their @Contact note. The Daily note is only kept as a journal of sorts. Trying to title them all will work in the short term, but I hope you will have more days than you have words to describe them.
