A volt with periodic notes templates already built

Obsidian Periodic Notes Sample

This volt has a basic skeleton for Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly periodict notes with goals and conclusions that are shared between the files.

Plugins:

1. Periodic Notes by Liam Cain
   • Turn off built-in Daily-notes plugin
2. Templater by SilentVoid
   • Turn on "Trigger Templater on new file creation"
   • Turn on "Automatic jump to cursor"
3. (Optional but recomended) Natural Language Dates by Argentina Ortega Sainz
4. (Optional but recomended) Calendar by Liam Cain

How does it work

This template uses 3 concepts to work:

• Obsidian embed file, or in our case, embed another note (official docs)
  • If you add ! at the beginning of a link, it creates an embed of that reasurce. Example:
    • [[2022-09]] creates a link to september file
    • ![[2022-09]] creates a embed so I can read the september file directly
• Obsidian Link to heading (official docs)
  • Embeding puts the entire file, but if we just one the goal, we can link to the title. Examle:
    • ![[2022-09]] prints entire file
    • ![[2022-09#goal]] prints only the september goal
• Templater's ability to read the document title and integration with MomentJS

Use the calendar to move accross daily notes

Once the plugin is installed, the calendar tab is hidden in the right pannel:

Why 5 weeks per month?

Because not all months start on monday and end in sunday.
