Anyone keep diaries in Obsidian? How do you format the filenames/directories and the notes themselves? My current formatting for the filenames is “/Daily Notes/DD-MMMM-YYYY”. Don’t have many plugins right now, but I’m open to suggestions. It’s kind of frustrating that the notes in the diary are not ordered in a good way, but what can you do, it’s not too much of an issue. I also tag all my notes. If anyone has any experiences with journaling in Obsidian then let me know what you’ve learned in that process.
A list of useful plugins would be much appreciated!
Use ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD) and they will be properly ordered.
The trouble I’ve has is that if i want to go back a few weeks it can be a long list to hunt through. Setting up daily notes to be grouped by month into folders helped that, but I’m having trouble getting the breadcrumbs plugin to parse across folders correctly.
I set up forevernotes in Obsidian and configured the daily note format to open the day’s note in forevernotes folder. I don’t journal, but I now use it as a work diary.

Thanks for the recommendation!
When I’m in a certain mode I do. I just use daily notes and the calendar plugin, then I link the days together in a long chain just because I like the look of a streak.
Of course I have been absolutely shite about keeping up with it these days though.
