Good tutorial, thank you. I have 2 questions, please. Question A- at 17:19, you install the "Heatmap Calendar" plugin. Why then, in the bonus chapter, are you using another plugin called "Contribution Graph" ? And question B- whichever is used, are they meant to replace the Calendar Graph in the Stats of the weekly/monthly etc reviews ? Thank you.
I', glad you're back with more videos and flushed out workflow! I love how detailed your videos are from theory to practice. But I can't wrap my head around sth: why does the logredis system uses tasks? can you or anyone please explain this?
@@dougsanderson5265 thanks for your answer but dataview can also return tags or inline metadata fields right? So why tasks? What if there was future conflict with tasks plugin?
We use tags because Dataview supports retrieving tasks, allowing us to filter based on specific pages or tags within the task log. If we create a task line, it can be retrieved by Dataview queries. In my older videos, you'll see that I used inline metadata fields like `log::`, but I found that tasks are much easier to use and explain to others. As for future-proofing, it’s highly unlikely that this functionality will stop being supported, as it’s part of the Tasks plugin. And if that does happen, there will be a better solution, and I’ll help everyone migrate to it. Thanks for testing my assumptions!
@@construct_by_dee My problem was simple. I had no idea how Obsidian worked and didn't realize I had to manually type it in, and that you pasted it in there in the video. I've since fixed that by doing a little investigation.
@@Pteromandias Obsidian does have a steep learning curve and I remember the frustration I had as well! Glad you are managing. I'm here if you get stuck with anything else :)
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together and share it. I am having a devil of a time getting the dataview code block to nest properly inside of the callout itself. Any ideas?
I figured it out. Use the backticks to open up the code block for Dataview in this case, write your query, and then add the callout bracket before the ticks. Works like a charm.
Hi there. If you are in editing mode - you need to make sure it is in the same format that the metadata property expects - in this case it is "#type/daily-note". If you are in reading or live-preview, it is not necessary to type the quotes and #. Hope that answers your question :)
So if I understand things correctly, you have to use ```dataview with the back ticks, but you have to put a > in front of it to prevent it from becoming a code block, because if you don't put the > there, it doesn't stay inside the callout? And I see some dataview blocks where every line has a > and some that don't. For example, the Tasks callout on the daily note template only has the > on the opening and closing ```. There are others, however, that have the > on every line. That is not entirely necesary, right? Just on the dataview line? Also, some blocks have a closing ```, and some don't. I imagine since code block formatting is being escaped on the first line, that you don't need that last ```, right? I'm seeing this on the daily template, where On This Day and Notes Created This Day only have the opening ```, but the Tasks one has both opening and closing ```. Just trying to wrap my head around all this.
There is by ways outside of Obsidian (VStudio and python). I'm still researching if there's a community plugin that can help do it "in-house". Will let you know once I've found it.
I see in your video when you first start the weekly template, there is a error for your start date format not matching... I am getting the same error, but can't find in your video where anything changed. What am I missing?
I also copied everything you did for the wheel of life and nothing shows up for the pie pieces. Love your video and how you explain everything! Just seem to be missing a few pieces.
Try closing and re-opening the weekly note you created to see if the pie pieces shows op (equivalent of switching it off and on 😅). Sometimes the code need to re-run to be activated. If this doesn't work, feel free to share the code you used and I'll try and brainstorm with you.
I really like how you kept it simple. Just a quick question, what’s the difference between the highlights and the aliases. To me they look like they serve the same use. I know you said to only use the aliases for serious events. But if you let go of that and decide to instead think of one single thing about each and every single day and put that into the aliases,I think this is better structure. Overall this structure is really good, I just don’t understand what the difference is between highlights and aliases
Howdy! It's open to interpretation. For me, "aliases" would be things like: reaching 10k subscribers on my UA-cam channel, quitting my job, getting married, moving to Japan, or going into outer space. On the other hand, "highlights" are anything and everything that made you happy or proud on a specific day. For instance, playing with a puppy, enjoying a fantastic coffee, having a good consulting session, helping a granny cross the street, going to bed early, having an interesting thought, or enjoying playing the guitar. So, in essence, if you create an "alias" for every day, it becomes a little diluted. The big moments won’t stand out as much. With highlights, the intention is to use them in your weekly reviews to track the things that make you happy and fulfilled, with the aim of maintaining an optimistic, rose-colored lens through which you view your life. Hope that makes sense! :)
Howdy! I'm in the process of updating "Evergreen" to "Evergreen 2.0." This update will include changes to the daily-to-yearly layout, enhanced functionality for the work vault, and an improved theory based on the original Evergreen. I'm about 90% done and aim to have it completed by the end of this week.
@@construct_by_dee that's awesome. I went ahead and purchased the evergreen the other day and just made a lot of these updates manually but would love to see how you implement it and other changes you make!
@@jtsmith2LA thanks for the support! I sent you a 30-day free membership with access to all the vaults so you can download and compare the latest one when I release it.
I'm having an issue with the 'on this day' in the daily note, it lists just all the notes in the referenced folder, not just those with matching MMDD; any ideas?
Sometimes Obsidian has a little bit of a bug. The good old "close and re-open" it seem to do the trick for this error. Or you can reload the app by clicking CMD+P and typing and selecting "Reload app without saving" Hope this helps, if not, let me know and I'll brainstorm with you.
Hi there! I'm 90% done with the Evergreen 2.0 vault which would include the theory, work vault, and journal (weekly to yearly rollup) vault. I aim to have it done by the end of this week :)
@@construct_by_dee Hey, thanks for the response. I couldn't figure out where I can find all my comments made on YT, to find this particular convo easily, so I'd like to ask whether there would be a specific site, place, etc. that I could monitor where this Evergreen 2.0 would be announced?
Preciate the tutorial! I think your life might be easier if your scale for things goes from 1-10 but otherwise, great videos seriously helped a ton. Thank you so much! :D
While I was making this video, I was thinking the same thing, although I really feel attached to the -2 to 2 rating system. The 10-point rating system feels like too much, as we tend to choose the extremes in any case (very bad, very good, or very neutral). I could change the numbers to range from 1 to 4, with 1 being the worst and 4 being the best, but my mind doesn’t like that solution. When I find a solution, or if I give up and go back to the good old 10-point system, I’ll be sure to let you know!
@@construct_by_dee also, for the wheel of life, could we not input the values into a property and make a pie chart with those properties? Seems easier than just inputting each number 1 by one in the array.
@@theaveragemegaguy @theaveragemegaguy That is something I am still trying to figure out. As soon as I have the solution you would be the first to know!
Thanks for the roll-up, I really like the philosophy behind your vault. I bought your first vault a few months ago; and I am in the process of updating it. I have an issue with the Average section though. I get the following error message in the Weekly file "Error parsing YAML" . When I have a look at the daily file, there is a warning sign in front of each of the logs in the frontmatter "type mismatch, expected text" - I noticed that in the traditional frontmatter view your numbers are in quotation marks (e:g: "-2") mine aren't. What property type did you use for the logs in the daily template?
Hi there! If you already purchased a previous vault send me mail with your email address that I can give you access to the latest one! Regarding your question, it should be in a "number" format. If you see quotes around the numbers it probably won't work. It might be that there is a mismatch between the days in that week. Meaning some days might have the normal numbers (-2 to 2) without quotes, and some have the quotes around them. This might cause the calculation in your weekly note to break because it is trying to sum a number with a text. Again, send me your mail and you can see the latest vault in action ;)
My man, I caught that typo right before publishing, but I decided I'm waaaaaay too lazy to go back and re-record with the fix 😂. Thanks for point it out 😉
Hi there! The symbols are used to signify template code in Obsidian. In the templates we've created, you'll notice that the created-date field is enclosed within these symbols. Essentially, when you create a new note, Obsidian interprets the code between the characters. It recognizes that you want to insert today's date and automatically populates the created-date field with it. Hope this makes sense. If not, let me know and I'll take another stab at explaining it.
Thank you for this review, I agree with a lot of it. Though i dont agree to making folders for the daily notes (year, month etc). We have dataview and various search methods we can use. Making folders is redundant.
I can appreciate how folders aren't necessarily required, but i fail to understand how folders are redundant. As you can drive behavior in Obsidian given a folder a note is in, can't folders serve a purpose? Try eliminating templates from your graph unless the folder they are in is excluded. Putting templates or other system oriented (not note related) items into an excluded folder seems efficient. Also some are more visually oriented and folders can serve them. I do believe folders are often overused when YAML properties or tags can better serve the intended purpose. The flexibility of Obsidian means that there are many ways to accomplish the same or a similar task in a multitude of ways. No one size fits all, it seems.
@@cmx-v3x You are right, folders can serve a purpose. I should not have said "redundant". But in the case of splitting them to distinguish between them, in this case, isn't required.
Hi there! I agree-the folder structure isn't always necessary. My thought process is to avoid unnecessary folders in my system, but when a note clearly belongs in a specific folder, like a daily note, I don't see any harm in creating it (if that’s what you prefer). For me, having a designated folder makes it easier to find a specific daily note by navigating through the folder structure in my storage system (Google Drive). If I were a chef, I might have just one folder called "Recipes" where I'd store all my recipes. That way, it would be easy to find or share any file from my Google Drive in the future. So, in conclusion, you can eliminate the journal folder if you prefer-but personally, it's a folder I still enjoy using! That is the great thing about Obsidian, so many different ways of doing things :) Thanks for the comments! I always enjoy testing some of the beliefs I've built up.
No. Frickin. One. can claim to be an "expert" on his own. If you run into something who does, you probably have run into an imposter. You are NOT an expert until someone else says you are.
Love the walkthrough on this, thank you! I've been having a blast following along with this and setting it all up, but I've run into a problem... For the review roll ups, the momentjs code at ua-cam.com/video/m5SYja0V29w/v-deo.html throws an error when I put it in. Expected one of the following: '(', ')', 'null', boolean, date, duration, file link, list ('[1, 2, 3]'), negated field, number, object ('{ a: 1, b: 2 }'), string, variable I know the videos only two weeks old, but did something get updated that broke momentjs working inside Dataview?
Update: Got my stuff working, though using date() and not momentjs, in case anyone else runs into a similar issue. >[! highlight]- Highlights! >```dataview TASK FROM "" WHERE contains(text,"#log/highlight") AND date = date(this.date) GROUP BY file.name as filename SORT filename ASC >[!

Hi there! The error you're seeing is expected when viewing the template itself. It should resolve once you activate the template for a specific month. I just tested it on my end, and it still seems to work correctly once activated for a specific month. It’s possible that something in the Templater plugin isn't functioning properly. Have you tried updating all the community plugins you have installed? I see you found an alternative solution-thanks for sharing that and helping out the community! Let me know if I can give you access to my vaults as a way to say thanks :)
@@construct_by_dee That makes sense! I didn’t even think about it throwing an error because it doesn’t have a date to reference in the template. Access to your vaults would be awesome. Thank you!!

If I were a chef, I might have just one folder called "Recipes" where I'd store all my recipes. That way, it would be easy to find or share any file from my Google Drive in the future.
So, in conclusion, you can eliminate the journal folder if you prefer-but personally, it's a folder I still enjoy using!
That is the great thing about Obsidian, so many different ways of doing things :)
Thanks for the comments! I always enjoy testing some of the beliefs I've built up.

Somebody would probably want to watch the video because of it. Know your market ;)
The Periodic Notes plugin makes this job easier.
No. Frickin. One. can claim to be an "expert" on his own. If you run into something who does, you probably have run into an imposter. You are NOT an expert until someone else says you are.
Love the walkthrough on this, thank you! I've been having a blast following along with this and setting it all up, but I've run into a problem... For the review roll ups, the momentjs code at ua-cam.com/video/m5SYja0V29w/v-deo.html throws an error when I put it in.
Expected one of the following:
'(', ')', 'null', boolean, date, duration, file link, list ('[1, 2, 3]'), negated field, number, object ('{ a: 1, b: 2 }'), string, variable
I know the videos only two weeks old, but did something get updated that broke momentjs working inside Dataview?
Update: Got my stuff working, though using date() and not momentjs, in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.
>[! highlight]- Highlights!
>```dataview
TASK
FROM ""
WHERE contains(text,"#log/highlight")
AND date = date(this.date)
GROUP BY file.name as filename
SORT filename ASC

Hope it helps someone else :D
Hi there!
The error you're seeing is expected when viewing the template itself. It should resolve once you activate the template for a specific month.
I just tested it on my end, and it still seems to work correctly once activated for a specific month.
It’s possible that something in the Templater plugin isn't functioning properly. Have you tried updating all the community plugins you have installed?
I see you found an alternative solution-thanks for sharing that and helping out the community!
Let me know if I can give you access to my vaults as a way to say thanks :)
@@construct_by_dee That makes sense! I didn’t even think about it throwing an error because it doesn’t have a date to reference in the template.
Access to your vaults would be awesome. Thank you!!

Hello, can anyone help me out with this section:
'> ![[${moment(start_of_week).add(i, 'd').format('YYYY-MM-DD[]#YYYY-MM-DD')}]]').join("
") + '
';
%>
this code is from the weekly section, its not working for me
try this:
[! picture]- Pictures
;
tR += Array(days_in_week).fill(null).map((x, i) => > ![[${moment(start_of_week).add(i, 'd').format('YYYY-MM-DD[]#YYYY-MM-DD')}]]).join("
") + '
';
%>
My script also couldn't find the pictures because I forgot the space between the '####' and the date (in the daily notes)
@@ProfessorChaos00 thanks for your help, but it's still not working for me, maybe because I am using it on an android tablet.
Getting this error, if anyone can help me out!
Missing parenthesis ) after argument list, can anyone help?
Hi there.
I picked up a couple of small mistakes in your code. Here is the correct block of code which should work:
[! picture]- Pictures
`;
tR += Array(days_in_week).fill(null).map((x, i) => `> ![[${moment(start_of_week).add(i, 'd').format('YYYY-MM-DD[]#YYYY-MM-DD')}]]`).join("
") + '
';
%>
It didn't work for me either.
Could you please help?
[! picture]- Pictures
`;
tR += Array(days_in_week).fill(null).map((x,i) => `> ![[${moment(start_of_week).add(i,'d').format('YYYY-MM-DD[]#YYYY-MM-DD')}]]`).join("
") + '
';
%>
I can't get this code to work properly and it's driving me nuts! Can anyone help?
[! picture] - Pictures
`;
tR += Array(days_in_week).fill(null).map((x, i) => `> !
[[${moment(start_of_week).add(i, 'd').format('YYYY-MM-DD[]#YYYY-MM-DD') }]]`).join("
") + '
';
%>
Here you go :)

@@construct_by_dee Breaks my whole page I just had to resort to a dataview code
Learned a lot from your videos. What does bother me is the fact that an image is also a log. But how to implement that is still an issue
Hi there! What do you mean? Do you want to use images more in logs?
I think I have it. If you were to insert an image (with tag: #log/picture) into a log, you might be able to get an overview of a day's images in a data view
Eigenlijk moet ik bekennen dat ik voor alle media (zoals afbeeldingen, of een YT-film, etc...) een apart bestand aanmaak, waarnaar ik dan kan verwijzen. Via dataview kan ik dan een overzicht verkrijgen. Maar het is mijn methode... met alle respect voor wat jij doet!
