daily notes template

my daily notes consist of:

  • an ASCII weather forecast (pulled from wttr.in with curl)
  • a link to the previous note (code from ben’s garden)
  • a quote of the day (randomly pulled from a file compiling a bunch of weird twitter shitposts using fortune)
  • a task list (using tasks for obsidian) that i add the following base tasks to every day:
    • take medication
    • eat food
    • take multi-vitamin
  • a list of “things that happened today” that i add anything even semi-significant to (it helps with my memory)
  • calendar items, local (AKA from full calendar notes) & remote (ICS files)
  • a list of “three good things” that i fill out the next day before opening my new note
