how I can add YAML automatically?
Maybe Linter is something for you. I use it to add/remove frontmatter.
-
YAML tags vs Normal tags in Obsidian
And then i use [Linter](https://github.com/platers/obsidian-linter) the remove the "#".
-
Tool to automatically enforce Markdown style/formatting
There’s a linter plugin for Obsidian, too.

Do you start each note with a header that has the same name as the file?
I use https://github.com/platers/obsidian-linter, which can add the current file name as a header. I create a new file, press CTRL+S or CMD+S to trigger it, and everything is already in place.
-
easily track when files were created or modified?
You can use the frontmatter for this. I like the Linter plugin bc it can easily create and update that for you. As for linking to the calendar, there are a few ways to achieve that. You could probably use DataView with the frontmatter mentioned above, but I am not as familiar with that. I just the Calendar + Periodic Notes plugins to create daily notes using a template, which includes this:

How do I implement text title within the daily note YYYY-MM-DD date format?
This is kinda different and doesn't solve the calendar problem, but in browsing around for a solution I came across this feature in the Periodic Notes plugin that I might start using now. You can add date variables to the file path, which means you can have a daily folder where you have your daily note plus other day specific notes that have their own titles. I think this approach to file organization might make more sense to my brain, at least for some things.
-
Daily Note Template based on file.title and not the time you create the note
I also use the Periodic Notes plugin but I don't think it does anything special to make Templater work for new notes.
-
Changing date format for daily notes
I recommend the Periodic Notes plugin as it lets you specify a custom naming format for your notes. It's a replacement for the core "daily notes" plugin.
- daily notes don't do it for me...
-
What is the proper way to organize your notes? What wrong methods have failed for you?
I use the obsidian-periodic-notes plugin to build a weekly dashboard containing transcluded daily notes to power a weekly review. This is hugely helpful to make sure things don't fall through the cracks.
