I try to read at least one feature article from the various magazines I subscribe to every day. Throughout the day, IвЂ™ll check off tasks here and add new ones and those get incorporated into the next dayвЂ™s runs. For instance, that вЂњAdd functionality for notes timelineвЂќ task has been open for 2 days (since Saturday).

My script appends a note indicating how long the task has been open. Illustrates what happens when tasks are carried over day-to-day without being completed. The result is that I only see tasks that I havenвЂ™t completed.Д¤a.

This prevents seeing uncompleted tasks that were completed on a subsequent day. It then hashes the tasks and removes any вЂњincompleteвЂќ tasks that appear in the вЂњcompletedвЂќ task list. The script searches for all tasks in my notes and splits them into 2 groups, completed and incomplete. This section lists all of the tasks I have that have not yet been checked off. I then render those events in the Agenda section of my Daily Note. The only place IвЂ™ve been able to find that binary is in that post, but it worked perfectly once I replaced the original binary.Д®ach night, a call to icalBuddy is made and the resulting events on that dayвЂ™s calendar are returned. The published version of icalBuddy had an issue with accessing calendars from a cron job or launchd, but I found post where a person was provided with an updated version of the binary that fixes the problem.

It does this by calling a command-line program called вЂњ icalBuddyвЂќ (for Mac OS) which allows you to grab information from your calendar. Next, the script generates the вЂњAgendaвЂќ section of my note. It also make a call to a weather app to pull in a very short version of the weather for the day for my location. My script generates a navigation bar to the previous dayвЂ™s notes, and to tomorrowвЂ™s note (which doesnвЂ™t exist yet, of course). My Python script generates a note title for the note in yyyy.mm.dd.2. Here is a look at my annotated Daily Notes file for today, Monday, February 8. The basis of the design of my Daily Note drew inspiration from this post on the Obsidian forums. In addition to having reference information right up front, I use the TodayвЂ™s Notes section of my notes for jotting various notes down throughout the day, that serve as a kind of log of activity, ideas, and things to do. Indeed, I store my daily notes in my Obsidian vault in a folder called вЂњBullet JournalвЂќ. I use my daily notes in much the same way as I used daily notes in my Bullet Journal days. Of course, this is in large part because Obsidian itself works so well for me. So far, this has been working out beautifully for me.

I wrote a Python script that creates the note, and having the script running as a Launchd jobвЂ“which these days is recommended on Mac OS over cron jobs. See this post for more details.ДЇor nearly a week now my Daily Notes file in Obsidian is generated automatically each night after midnight.

IвЂ™m very unconvinced that a separate Obsidian feature would significantly enhance this workflow, but IвЂ™m sure it would absorb a lot of development effort.ETA: : I have now posted my code for my daily notes automation script on GitHub. I find it quite simple to import the handwritten or drawn files into Obsidian using attachment folders and this works quite straightforwardly. This already exists and is constantly developed within these other programs. Keyboards on many devices have the ability to transcribe into text. The programs that support handwriting usually have OCR. Remembering where you are in the drawing and supporting multiple undos is much easier in a database, and IвЂ™m not sure how practical it would be with files, especially between sessions. Markdown itself doesnвЂ™t have image capabilities, though it can link to image files.

Google Keep, Samsung Notes, OneNote, Evernote plus all the specialised programs. So itвЂ™s nothing to do with that.ДЄll the programs that come to mind with this ability have databases and export. I use pens extensively for hand writing and drawing all my devices have been chosen because they have sophisticated pens. IвЂ™m not convinced this would make a worthwhile addition to Obsidian directly.
