I’ve built an Obsidian plugin that automatically generates tightly interconnected periodic notes (daily → weekly → monthly → quarterly → yearly) that are fully navigable and hierarchy-aware, combined with a time budgeting system that treats time like a finite investment portfolio, where you allocate hours into categories and track where your time actually goes.
GitHub - owner with name (I can’t post links here): Real1tyy/Periodix-Planner

Why I built this
Most planning systems focus on output (“What did I get done?”). This plugin focuses on inputs (“What am I spending my time on?”). It’s not a task manager—it’s a time investment tracker that helps you decide what deserves your time in the first place.
