"templater" templates I use for obsidian and zettelkasten.

Plugins

Setup

  • Put the templates into a separate template folder that you will link in the plubins.
  • Create a folder for your periodic notes

Templater

  • Disable built-in core template plugin
  • Enable "Trigger Tamplater on new file creation"

Calendar

  • Enable "Show week number" so you can create a weekly note by clicking on the week number
    • Notes will be auto created with the files you specify in Periodic Notes
      • My calendar week numbers are not labeled accoring to ISO 8601, but when I click on the week number to create the note, the template creates the correctly named ISO week number.
    • You can maybe fix the calendar week numbering by overriding the locale setting?

Periodic Notes

  • Enable all the notes under the Periodic Notes plugin settings and point to these template files
  • I kept the default file format names, exept for the "Weekly Notes" section
    • Weekly Notes Format uses WW for ISO week number: YYYY-[W]WW
  • I have a folder name 000-Periodic Notes so all my periodic notes sort to the top of the folder view
    • If you want subfolders for each kind of periodic note, and still have the notes count properly with the Calendar plugin
      • You can overide the year formating with the [square brackets] to specify exact folder/file name
