Ever since I discovered periodic notes, I wanted to make yearly, quarterly, and monthly plans. But the calendar plugin only provided quick access to daily and weekly notes.

Hello. It's kinda not efficient to manually type in the deadlines of my tasks in my kanban-board to the Calendar plugin by liamcain. Some of my deadlines were postponed so I had to change the deadline dates in my kanban-board thus I have to manually type in the new dates in my calendar.

To facilitate the creation of journal/daily pages, I suggest editing the “Daily Notes” settings. For example, use the following date format: YYYY/MM-MMMM/YYYY-MM-DD, and put all the notes in a single folder (like JOURNAL). You may also want to apply a specific template. It is also worth creating a separate note like “tags” where you will specify all the different tags to use for your daily notes (ideally start all the tags with -, like #-😊 so that once you type #- you will get a dropdown with all the tags). Finally, you can quickly find different dates with the Calendar plugin.

Use Periodic Notes plugin, it allows you to create independent journal sets. When I say sets is because you could have one set for your work, health, money, etc. And each set could be compounded by daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly notes. You can set a shortcut to quickly change the current journal, so you can write down ideas that just came to your mind in the corresponding journal.

Check out Obsidian and Periodic Notes plugin to template out your daily notes the way you like it.

You may need to install a Periodic Notes plugin if you aren't already using it for the creation of your weekly notes.

Ever since I discovered periodic notes, I wanted to make yearly, quarterly, and monthly plans. But the calendar plugin only provided quick access to daily and weekly notes.

You may notice also that the event file name that I made uses the file name convention that the [Period Notes](https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-periodic-notes) community plugin uses which can make recurring events/templates a bit easier to manage. But you could also easily use the standard daily note file name convention `YYYY-MM-DD - This Week's Event`, etc. as your standard.

My work has a weekly rhythm (recurring operational meetings, 1:1's, staff meetings, ...) and I find a weekly note (using Periodic Notes) works better for me than daily notes. I also have a note from one meeting about something I want to communicate to someone in another meeting later in the week and find having that context in one place vs in different daily notes is useful.

I've used it so heavily that my DayOne app has basically just turned into a private photo bank. I review them once a week. If Daily Notes gets you fired up, do look into Periodic Notes which adds optional Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly notes.
