When I was looking for inspiration on how people kept Daily Notes in Obsidian, I genuinely couldn’t find anything that wasn’t way too complicated.
Youtube videos, breakdowns on the Obsidian forums.. I couldn’t believe how complex peoples systems were for capturing thoughts throughout the day. I tried some of them for a little while, but best case scenario was that I stuck at it for a couple of days, and then trailed off.
For me to stick at something and make it a habit, it has to be simple.
Over time, I came up with my own way of taking daily notes. This is the place where I log what is happening throughout the day, capture thoughts, track habits and build connections.
Capturing these notes throughout the day has helped me become more focused, avoid doomscrolling/procrastination cycles and made me much more mindful of my feelings and thoughts.
The beauty of it is, it’s simple as shit. But it works!
By the end of this article, you will have everything you need to have a super minimal, repeatable daily note habit that will help you be more in tune with your thinking.
OK, lets go…
