Done-for-You Markdown Dates for Organising an OBTF
Some daily-note makers use paper, some use digital files, and some use both. All are valid, and I’m in the latter category. My analog daily notes are kept on scrap paper in a Paper Saver notebook and in my Wonderland222 planner while digital daily notes live in One Big Text File, known as an OBTF.
I freely admit that there’s no need to organise an OBTF with Markdown headings, none at all. In-file search will surface any date (assuming the entries are dated, which they should be) or topic. But I do it anyway!
At the beginning of this year I took the time to write out the weeks of the year. At the beginning of each new week I cut and paste the coming week’s dates to separate my notes into more easily navigable chunks. Pourquoi pas !
Here they are in case you would like to do the same:
Anne-Laure Le Cunff‘s Plus-Minus-Next is a helpful way to structure regular reviews. I place it at the beginning of the week, going back to fill it in before the next week begins.
