Daily Notes, Taskwarrior, and Timewarrior

One of my goals for 2023 is to be more organization in both work and life. To achieve that goal I have adopted a daily notes system. It's adapted from a blog post by Chris Krycho that I found on hacker news. It uses Obsidian a powerful notes and organization tool. Along with Obsidian I am using the Periodic Notes and the Templater plugins. Periodic Notes makes it easy to create new daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes based off predefined templates. Templater makes it easy to create new meeting or project notes based off predefined templates.

Everything gets summarized and filtered up to the next level making it easy to track outcomes. In addition to the daily note I am using taskwarrior and timewarrior for a more traditional to TO-DO and time tracking. Taskwarrior is a free and open source command line TO-DO list. I use taskwarrior-tui which is a fantastic Terminal User Interface for taskwarrior. Timewarrior is a free and open source command line tool for tracking time. Timewarrior has hooks for taskwarrior which means any time I start or stop a task in taskwarrior it automaticaly creates time entries. I can run reports to see where I am spending my time. I am enjoying the morning routine of setting up my work day.
