Using Obsidian for Weekly Planning

• Mondays are for weekly planning.
• Coupled with Daily Journaling, this can be a powerful technique for managing time.
• The Weekly planning note becomes the agenda for the week with links to notes for individual tasks
• I use Obsidian, because I like its features.
  • I can tag notes #likeso
  • I can link notes to each other
  • There is a fantastic graph view.
  • Lots of nice features, configurability, really an outstanding product
• My structure looks like this:
  • Daily Journal Folder
    • When I open "today's note" I get a file with this format: YYYY-MM-DD, dddd.md
      • Example 2025-02-07, Friday.md
  • Weekly Planning Folder
    • YYYY-MM-DD - Weekly Planning.md
• Run an initialize script
• Start with your calendar.
  • Add your appointments and meetings to the appropriate days.
• Then re-evaluate current WIP
  • I have two folders in my Obsidian vault. ¹
    • WIP
    • Backlog
• Narrow down the WIP to only a few items. Anything with a lower priority goes into the backlog.
• Block out time for each day of the week to dedicate to your current WIP.
