## Timeline

> Timeline page was inspired by this [**Timeline - § Sim Salis - Obsidian Publish**](https://publish.obsidian.md/sim/Timeline), but it's now a defunct link unfortunately.

I just use it to list out what notable events happened in each year and if I _have_ a year page, I'll link to it. I think it's just a neat way to see your life at a glance and all the things you've been able to do.

```md

There was a lot of information on these pages, so I opted to get very CSS heavy on the dataview query so that I could still glance and get the information I needed.

# Journal Sections

The naming scheme of my files is something new and was done to help me quickly identify what type of entry it is. My old system just had the date then a title, but when listing or searching through them it was hard to tell what kind I was looking at. So I came up with this:

**File Title Format**: `YYYY-MM-DD-JT-ST - Title`

-   `JT` being the initials for the `Journal Type`
-   `ST` being intials for the `subtype` of the Journal Type

Initials

Type

`J`

Journal Day

`DJ`

Dream Journal

`WL`

Workout Log

`WL-A`

Workout Log Arm Day

`WL-T`

Workout Log Torso Day

`WL-L`

Workout Log Lower Body Day

`CD`

Code Diary

`UL`

Update Log

`R`

**Examples:**

-   `2021-07-24-J - Community Showcase`
-   `2021-07-27-DJ - The Dream`
-   `2021-06-19-WL-L - New Leg Routine`

## 1 Journal

#### Daily Journal Entry

My journal entries for daily notes are often very bare bones, because if I tried to record too much in/about a day I would _never_ write anything. It's been a struggle to find out what it would take to get me to write regularly, but I think this template/setup is the closest I can get to nearly daily writing.

---

The **File Title** often is a couple words about each important event that day; sometimes it's only 1 event and sometimes it's 3+. If there's more than 1, I'll just add a `+` plus sign between the titles to help me see the separation.  
**Example**: `2021-05-11-J - Dying Internet + CSV to MD Fixes`

```md
---
tags: Journal/Date/Day

Date: <% tp.file.title.split("-J ")[0] %>
Title: <% tp.file.title.split(" - ")[1] %>
---
<i>**[[Journal]]**, [[Day]]</i>

# <% moment(tp.file.title.split("-J")[0]).format("dddd DD, MMMM YYYY") %>
**Year**:: [[<% moment(tp.file.title.split("-J")[0]).format("YYYY") %>]]
**Month**:: [[<% moment(tp.file.title.split("-J")[0]).format("YYYY-MM") %>]]
**Rating**:: [[Rating]]
**Tags**:: 

---
# Summary
- <% tp.file.cursor(2) %>

---

## Event Title
- Event

```

The **Summary section** is to finally get me to at least put a brief version of the important events that happened that day.

The **Event Title** headings after that are for more indepth recounts of the events of that day if it's really notable for me. Everything else regarding the actual events is written in bullet points because I do not want to write more than I have to and bullets are just far easier for me to reread.

#### Yearly Journal Entry

The yearly journal entry note is also bare bones as well, if not moreso.

The **File Title** is just the year number (ie. `2021`).

````md
---
tags: Journal/Date/Year

Date: <% tp.file.title %>
---
<i>[[Journal]], [[Year]]</i>

# <% tp.file.title %>
**Rating**::
**Tags**::

---

# Theme: 
- [ ] 


---
# Reflections
- 

---
# Entries


Inspired by the video: [**Your Theme** by CGP Grey](https://youtu.be/NVGuFdX5guE), I have a section for what my theme is for the year. Under that heading is just a place for some task that I might want to accomplish, but sometimes I just delete that and go straight for the reflections.

**Reflections** are something that I fill out throughout the year, because I definitely won't remember nor will I want to sit down at the end of the year and try to remember everything that occurred. By the end of the year I want to _read_ what I accomplished.

The **Entries** section is just a large list of all the files with the year that matches the current notes year.

## 2 Dream Journal

The dream note is far more free form and actually written in paragraphs. Most of the time it's often done _right_ when I wake up if I can remember the dream.

```md
---
tags: Journal/Dream

Date: <% tp.file.title.split("-DJ")[0] %>

## 3 Workout Log

> The workout log is where I record my reps of my workout routine to measure my progress.

The workout log isn’t anything fancy, I just have a Form section on the table where I note how I felt for that particular exercise. Since there are a _couple_ of templates for this part of the journal, I’ll show the results first so you understand what all these pages end up looking like since they’re all the same.

## 4 Conditions Log

The conditions log entry is _very_ new in my system. It used to be a lot random notes with 0 structure to them, but I finally came up with fields that I actually can fill out that are very helpful. I just tried to remember a specific event and what kind of information I wanted to know about, and these were the ones I wanted to have answers for.

**Template**

```md

Title: <% tp.file.title.split(" - ")[1] %>

## 5 Code Diary

> Inspired by this video: [**Code Diary: How and Why to Keep One** by Semicolon&Sons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tarmCEHfGa0), I decided to create a code diary.

That video breaks down why to use and what goes into a code diary far more than I will, so do watch the video if you're interested.

For my personal Code Diary so far, I mostly write down code that, through trial and error, I came up with that does a particular thing that may be useful to know why it was done or just _what_ it does.

**Template:**

6 Resonance Calendar

I was inspired by this video How I use Notion as a Resonance Calendar by Ali Abdaal, watch through the video for a more indepth look at what a Resonance Calendar is.

The resonance calendar is a journal entry about a work challenges the way I think or provides new insights.

The File Title format: YYYY-MM-DD-R - Title -- Creator.
The double dashes to me signify that it's a work with a creator that isn't me. Anything that comes after -- tells me that's the creator. Usually I would have these flipped, but the work title is slightly more important to me to see first.

Template:

---
tags: Journal/Resonance
cssclass: hcl
Date: <% tp.file.title.split("-R")[0] %>
---
%%
Title:: <% tp.file.title.split(" - ")[1].replace(/ --.\*/, '') %>

Source:: <% tp.file.cursor(1) %>
Media:: [[Medium]]
%%
<i>**[[Resonance Calendar]]**</i>

# <% tp.file.title.split("-R")[1].replace(/ --.*/, '') %>
<i>`dv= this.Source`</i>

<iframe width=100% height=300px src="<% tp.file.cursor(2) %>" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

# Notes
<% tp.file.cursor(3) %>

The page has some metadata about the work that I want to know:

The Date when I decided to add it to the journal
Who the Creator of that work is
The Source/where I found it
What type of Media it is (ie. Video, Podcast, Article, Book, etc)

Then I'll embed that source if I can, otherwise I'll just delete the iframe and continue onto my notes.

The notes aren't anything special, this is still a fairly new setup for me, so it's just bullet points on things I found interesting or profound from the work.

If I haven't finished taking notes on the video I'll just randomly throw in a tag so that it looks ugly and bothers me so I have to go through the video to get rid of it. Which is nice because I can have my mind blown all over again.

Result:

7 Update Log

The Update Log is where I list out the things I've changed between creation or the last update of a project.

I keep the update log's page very simple as it's just the bare bones outline of the updates I've added. For now, the only project that I have that I need updates for is the ITS Theme.

The title and date are usually left blank until I feel I've done enough to finally push an update through. Then, I'll add the information manually to all of it. The only thing that’s updated first is the Project wikilink.

The File Title will be formatted YYYY-MM-DD-UL-PI - Updates. PI is the project initials that I decide on, usually about 2-5 letters depending on the title. For example, for the ITS Theme updates the file title is:

2021-07-31-UL-ITS - Icon & Image Adjustment & Updates + Kanban Adjustments

QuickAdd

The QuickAdd plugin allows me to easily select whichever type of journal entry I want to create and enter the information I need.

My setup here is very simple, just a template with some stuff in the file name and folder input and toggled on Open to open to the note once it’s created.

For simplicity:
1 is the File Name Format
2 is the Folder Format

Bullet Journal ― Template

{{DATE:YYYY}}/{{DATE}}-J - {{VALUE:Title}}.md
10 BuJo/1 Journal

Dream Journal ― Template

{{DATE:YYYY}}/{{DATE}}-DJ - {{VALUE:Title}}.md
10 BuJo/2 Dream Journal

Workout Log ― Template

{{DATE:YYYY}}/{{DATE}}-WL-{{VALUE:A,T,L,W}} - .md
10 BuJo/2 Dream Journal

The template for this is different since I have different options I need to chose from. The letters are mostly the same choices from the table in the Journal Sections. The only addition here is W which is just a blank template to add a different workout routine from the the usual arm/torso/leg.

Template Note:

<%* if (tp.file.title.match(/.*-WL-A/)) { -%>
<% tp.file.include("[[Arm Day Template]]") %>
<%* } else if (tp.file.title.match(/.*-WL-T/)) { -%>
<% tp.file.include("[[Torso Day Template]]") %>
<%* } else if (tp.file.title.match(/.*-WL-L/)) { -%>
<% tp.file.include("[[Lower Body Day Template]]") %>
<%* } else if (tp.file.title.match(/.*-WL-W/)) { -%>
<% tp.file.include("[[Workout Log Template]]") %>
<%* } else {} %>

This is the template that I have for quickadd to use when creating a note. The template will read the title of the journal entry and if it matches the letter, will add that specific template to the note.

Conditions Log ― Template

{{DATE:YYYY}}/{{DATE}}-CL - {{VALUE:Title}}.md
