Daily Journaling using Periodic Notes and Calendar: These enable me to maintain my daily journaling habit that I had in Evernote and add a visual view using the Canvas plug-in and powerful templates for habit tracking.

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.

NOTE: I'm happy to share my YARLE configuration settings if anyone wants. Edit--Obsidian does offer an official and easy-to-use Importer plugin built on YARLE, but I found it doesn't offer the same depth of customizations with export note behaviors and sanitation tools.

Obsidian Importer plugin: transferring from Evernote to Obsidian has never been so fast and easy!

This blog post announces a new official open source Obsidian plugin that converts Evernot .enex files to Markdown, with a simple GUI. The repo can be found here:
