# README

A simple starter for [obsidian.md](https://obsidian.md).

* Daily Notes
* Daily Planner with Timeline
* Templater (e.g. for _Daily_ notes)
* Kanban support

## Getting started

Clone repository and copy all contents including potential hidden `.` files
to the vault location you like to use.

After you've opened your vault location in Obsidian, plugins and panes might not
be aligned:

* Turn off safe mode to enable community plugins on _first_ start
* Restart Obsidian and panes should be in place correctly, if not, then adjust manually
  * With the command palette `ctrl + p`, _Calendar: Show_
  * With the command palette `ctrl + p`, _Day Planner: Show Timeline_
  * Open `_Dashboard` file and drag the top left icon after the title to the position you like

The result should look similar to:

![obsidian_preview](./../_Attachments/preview.png)

## Best Practices

* By default, all files will be opened in `source` mode. Switch to preview mode with `ctrl + e` dynamically, you'll get used to it
* Start your day 
  * by creating your `Daily Note/` with the icon located left in the sidebar or via action menu `ctrl + p` looking for _Daily Note: Open today's daily note_
  * link this opened file as your _daily_ for the timeline to work with `ctrl + p` looking for _Day Planner: Link ..._
