Like many here, I’m using my Daily Note for journaling purposes. Over time, I’ve arrived at an outline (set of questions / journaling prompts) that is simple and meaningful to me. While this is great for the keeping track of the qualitative side of things, I’m missing complementing it with quantitative data.
In the past, I’ve used exist.io which does a good job in aggregating information and showing possible correlations. However, over time it lost its appeal for me to a large extend it being separate from Obsidian.
With that in mind, it’s great to see how others have done a lot of great work already in the area of bringing both together and visualising them.
With that, my question is simply: How to best bring my quantitative data into my Daily Note? And wondering if Shortcuts with AfO could help me automate things or provide me with a simple input prompt.
Here the specific use case: I have a shortcut for my end of day journal (maybe in the future with a direct jump to the section) and as I run it following happens:
- iOS Health data is being pulled into the note (e.g. steps / Kcal)
- I’m asked a series of questions (screen time in mins / pages read)
- After answering them, I get to the note and the info is either filled into the YMAL header (with the ‘set note properties’ command) or a section I specify (with the ‘search and replace’)
I wonder if someone here is already doing this and would be kind enough to share their shortcuts or if others are also on the search and we could look together!
On this, @doug78645, I saw here that you create health logs, do you pull the data from the Health app – Would you mind sharing as it could give me a first step to get started?
Thanks, Christian
