Daily note taking scripts

readme.md

These are the scripts referenced in my youtube video: ITS ABOUT TIME - How I integrate time into my Obsidian notes - GTD

• meeting-note.md is the Templater script to create a new meeting note
• section-tasks.md is a Templater script to create a Tasks section in your Obsidian note file
• transclusion.css is an Obsidian CSS snippet to remove border box and scrollbar from around transclusions

🤔 This looks ok... We'll need to do some debugging...

Please add debugger; as the first line. This will break the execution of the script and you'll be able to step through the code line by line using F10. Let me know at which point the error is raised.

@zsviczian ... Here is the output from the log (I hope this is what you are looking for)...

Thank you for these files, @zsviczian ! On the off chance that anyone else has a use case similar to mine, here is some adapted code.

It very closely follows your code but I simplified it to only insert a meeting note title of the date into the project / person md file. I also run a keyboard maestro script that pulls my calendar entries for the day and inserts them into my daily note. There is some specific formatting that I work around there, thus you will find me hopping a couple lines and adding a new line to make it suit my need.

Thanks again!

I know it has been a year since you recorded this video. Does your workflow still work the same, or maybe you have made further improvements? I have loaded the 3 scripts but I am still having trouble getting obsidian to jump from daily notes to the project or person. Could you please screenshot the plugins that this depends on and what their settings are. It would be extremely helpful. I am new to Obsidian and Templater but have 20+ years of project management experience. What you have designed here is fantastic. thank you.
In the mean time, I am manually creating the links, sections and tasks.
