☀️Daily Planning

At the heart of Obsibrain lies its intuitive daily planning system. This isn't just a daily note; it's your daily execution hub—the single place where your high-level P.A.R.A. structure meets your real-world actions.

The First Rule of Flow: The first thing you should do when you open Obsidian is check your Daily Planning. It's the filter that pulls relevant tasks from your Projects and Areas and places them directly in front of you.

Accessing the Daily Planning

The daily planning can be opened in two friction-free ways:

1. Command Palette: Press Ctrl/Cmd + P and search for "Obsibrain: Open Daily".

2. Quick Access: Click the calendar icon on the right sidebar for instant access.

Daily Task Overview: Your Focus for Today

This view automatically aggregates tasks from across your entire vault, so you never have to "go looking" for work. It categorizes tasks into three clear zones:

• Overdue Tasks: Critical reminders of what was missed. Addressing these first prevents the "snowball effect" of mounting tasks.

• Due and Scheduled Today: Your primary focus. These are the specific steps you committed to taking today to move your Projects forward.

• Ongoing Tasks: Active work-in-progress that may not have a hard deadline but still requires your attention.

This summary allows you to quickly assess your priorities and ensure your energy is spent on what truly matters.

Seamless Navigation & The "Zoom" Effect

Obsibrain allows you to move between time scales effortlessly:

• Horizontal Navigation: Use the "Previous" & "Next" buttons to review yesterday's wins or plan tomorrow's focus.

• Vertical Navigation (Zoom Out): Use the "Zoom Out" button to transition from daily execution to your Weekly Review. This helps you step back from the "weeds" of daily tasks to see the broader perspective of your Areas and Goals.

Daily Periodic Review: Mindfulness in Action

Productivity isn't just about doing; it's about reflecting. The daily planning includes a journaling section designed to help you celebrate small wins and identify friction points.

By taking two minutes to journal, you turn "busy-ness" into intentional progress.

Connecting to Your P.A.R.A. World

The daily planning page isn't an island. It provides direct, live-updating links to your Projects and Goals.

From this central location, you can:

1. Track Progress: See your project progress bars fill up as you check off tasks.

2. Stay Aligned: Verify that your daily actions are actually contributing to the long-term Areas of your life you care about most.
