I recently uploaded a video to YouTube

And I wanted to share the code and resources behind my Daily Note.

The Template

The core template behind my daily note uses the community plugins: Templater and Tasks. It also blends in some of the built in plugin Template and Daily Note.

Date Links

The most intense code in this template is the date math to create links for tomorrow and yesterday automagically. I use the Calendar Plugin to create future daily notes, and weekly notes.

Tasks

The way my tasks plugin works, is that I rely on the Scheduled Date to make a task show up in my daily note on the day I want to see it. But, sometimes things roll out of my visibility window so I also use a page called Task Sweeper to list every unfinished task (there is a hard limit to keep this page from crashing) but it gives me a way to track down errant tasks. But it lets me put a task in a project, an area, my daily note, or anywhere really and they show up in my Daily Note, and Weekly note as well.

It might look complicated at first, (and I'm sure some guru could simplify the code), but I wanted to write it in a way that six months, or nine months later I could remember what I had done.

Enjoy.
