Plugins used
Instead of using the core daily notes and template plugin, I combine:
- Periodic notes – Add weekly notes
- Calendar – Quicker day/week navigation
- Templater – Advanced template options
Templater also adds a folder trigger option in the settings.
Turn this on and add the daily and weekly templates to the daily and weekly folders.
This means when a file is created in the daily folder it will get the daily template. The same with the weeks.
Using the calendar to open weeks can help with week planning and overviews.
Daily template
Templater can use moment date formatting.
In the day I like to see the day of the week as a title.
Use: # <%moment(tp.file.title).format(“dddd”)%>
Linking between days I consider:
- The folder location
- File title for the date
- Day change
- Alias for consistent viewing
For Yesterday use: [[Journal/Daily/<%tp.date.now(“YYYY-MM-DD”,-1,tp.file.title,”YYYY-MM-DD”)%>|Yesterday]]
For Tomorrow use: [[Journal/Daily/<%tp.date.now(“YYYY-MM-DD”,1,tp.file.title,”YYYY-MM-DD”)%>|Tomorrow]]
As I use weekly notes, a link in each day can be helpful.
For weekly use: [[Journal/Weekly/<%moment(tp.file.title).format(“gggg-[W]ww”)%>|<%moment(tp.file.title).format(“gggg-[W]ww”)%>]]
Weekly template
Templater can use moment date formatting.
In the week I like to see the start and end day as a title.
Use: # <%moment(tp.file.title).startOf(‘isoWeek’).format(“MMM DD”) %> – <%moment(tp.file.title).endOf(‘isoWeek’).format(“MMM DD”) %>
Linking between weeks is similar.
However, the code snippet is a little different.
For the Previous week: [[Journal/Weekly/<%moment(tp.file.title).subtract(1,’week’).format(“gggg-[W]ww”)%>| ↶ Previous Week]]
For Next week: [[Journal/Weekly/<%moment(tp.file.title).add(1,’week’).format(“gggg-[W]ww”)%>| ↷ Next Week]]
I also like to see each day of that week for quick navigation.
For each day use: [[Journal/Daily/<%moment(tp.file.title).startOf(‘isoWeek’).add(0,’day’).format(“YYYY-MM-DD”)%>|Monday]]
But replace the days added number, and the day alias at the end.
