One of the best things I’ve added to my #Obsidian #DailyNote is what I call the Life Clock: a simple line, representing the percentage of my life expectancy that’s been consumed so far.

Adapted from work by @mikeschmitz, this has become a daily reminder that time is fleeting -- not in a morbid way (at least, for me), but in a way that motivates me to make the most of what’s left.

Getting my Daily Note (and a monthly one too) set up the way I want. I'm kicking ass and taking notes.

So far:
- A countdown to the day my brother comes home
- A to-do list, separated into immediate, chores, backlog, and overdue tasks
- Recurring tasks to water the plants/lawn
- A monthly recap of completed tasks, minus the recurring ones and chores (because I don't need my retrospective to include plant-watering)
- An "On This Day..." section in the Daily Note showing things tagged with #otd from previous years on the same day
- A yearly collection of the On This Day notes, with the aid of Husband, who wrote a script to generate all the dates in a year and saved me having to do it manually (screenshot below)

It's a good start! Now to actually use the thing.

#Obsidian #ObsidianMD #DailyNote #PKM

It feels like it should be easier to embed a #random page or block in an #Obsidian page than it is.

There should be something I could type into a #template of my #DailyNote, for example, that renders as an embedded random page. (Even better -- a random block from a specified page.)

Do y'all know a way to do this?
