Anyone keep diaries in Obsidian? How do you format the filenames/directories and the notes themselves? My current formatting for the filenames is “/Daily Notes/DD-MMMM-YYYY”. Don’t have many plugins right now, but I’m open to suggestions. It’s kind of frustrating that the notes in the diary are not ordered in a good way, but what can you do, it’s not too much of an issue. I also tag all my notes. If anyone has any experiences with journaling in Obsidian then let me know what you’ve learned in that process.
A list of useful plugins would be much appreciated!
I set up forevernotes in Obsidian and configured the daily note format to open the day’s note in forevernotes folder. I don’t journal, but I now use it as a work diary.
When I’m in a certain mode I do. I just use daily notes and the calendar plugin, then I link the days together in a long chain just because I like the look of a streak.
Of course I have been absolutely shite about keeping up with it these days though.

Thanks for the recommendation!

My format is YYYY/MM/DD.MM.YYYY, so you have organized every month in a folder. Has been working for me for almost the last two years.
Then for the template, I have something like
#journal (tag) ## Daily tasks A callout ([!NOTE]) with some tasks that i should do everyday + the ones that emerge ## How I feel today? Where I write about my day and my thoughts ## 3 things that went well A callout ([!SUCCESS]) with a numbered list ## [Random Wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Randompage) I always rename the text for the page and the link as well ## My wordle try
