Example Daily Note
With category sections configured (see Section Headers and Categories), a daily note can look like this:
# 2024-01-15
## 🕗
* 08:30:00 Morning coffee
* 12:00:00 Lunch break
## 💼 Work
* 09:00:00 Daily standup meeting
* 10:30:00 Code review completed
* 14:00:00 Client presentation
## 🏠 Personal
* 18:00:00 Gym workout - 45 minutes
* 19:30:00 Dinner with family
## 🏥 Health
* 11:00:00 Doctor appointment
* 16:00:00 Picked up prescription
This was produced with a configuration roughly like:
section_header: "## 🕗"
section_header_work: "## 💼 Work"
section_header_personal: "## 🏠 Personal"
section_header_health: "## 🏥 Health"
list_type: bullet
and commands such as:
obsidian-logging "Morning coffee" -t 08:30
obsidian-logging -c work "Daily standup meeting" -t 09:00
obsidian-logging -c work "Code review completed" -t 10:30
obsidian-logging -c work "Client presentation" -t 14:00
obsidian-logging "Lunch break" -t 12:00
obsidian-logging -c personal "Gym workout - 45 minutes" -t 18:00
obsidian-logging -c personal "Dinner with family" -t 19:30
obsidian-logging -c health "Doctor appointment" -t 11:00
obsidian-logging -c health "Picked up prescription" -t 16:00
Table mode
The same note, with list_type: table and -H/--header used when adding entries, renders each
section as a markdown table instead of a bullet list:
## 🕗
| Tidspunkt | Hendelse |
|-----------|-----------------|
| 08:30:00 | Morning coffee |
| 12:00:00 | Lunch break |
All timestamps shown include seconds (HH:mm:ss) — see
List Type and Time Format for details on the automatic
seconds migration applied to older entries.
