For example I now use tags prefixed with #loc/ to mark a location, the same for profession: #pro/, network: #net/ and #org/ for organisation (if it’s not a client). The other thing I’ve discovered over time was the use of nested tags. No matter how my workflow changes, I’ve got a permanently accessible copy of it.

That means if you switch things around, the historical copy gets removed… I didn’t want this, so I opted to create a couple of plugins that simply pull historical data (from my calendar, todolist and others) and hardcode it into my daily note. Most plugins for Obsidian are just a window into the other application, not a historical copy.

The first reason I modified is was due to the fact I’m pulling in from other sources, but those sources changed… For example I switched my todo application and (Omnifocus -> Todoist) and I’ve removed Timing.app from my workflow. My daily note template changed over time and there are two things which mostly influenced the changes I’ve made. If you’re curious about my current daily note template, I’ve created a gist on Github. Until I found Obsidian I just couldn’t make it work, but it does now! In this post I wanted to reflect on my daily notes and some ideas that I’ve been thinking about the last few days. A habit I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. I’ve been journaling for a thousand days using Obsidian.
