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!

    My format is YYYY/MM/DD.MM.YYYY, so you have organized every month in a folder. Has been working for me for almost the last two years.

    Then for the template, I have something like

    #journal (tag)
## Daily tasks
A callout ([!NOTE]) with some tasks that i should do everyday + the ones that emerge
## How I feel today?
Where I write about my day and my thoughts
## 3 things that went well
A callout ([!SUCCESS]) with a numbered list
## [Random Wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Randompage) 
I always rename the text for the page and the link as well
## My wordle try
