Periodix-Planner: Turn Obsidian into a time-aware planning system
I've built an Obsidian plugin that automatically generates tightly interconnected periodic notes (daily → weekly → monthly → quarterly → yearly) that are fully navigable and hierarchy-aware, combined with a time budgeting system that treats time like a finite investment portfolio, where you allocate hours into categories and track where your time actually goes.

Core Features
Automatic Periodic Note Generation
- Automatically creates periodic daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes
- Notes are intelligently linked through frontmatter for easy navigation
Time Budget System
- Define your available hours and allocate them across categories (work, learning, health, relationships, etc.)
- Budgets cascade down the hierarchy: Yearly → Quarterly → Monthly → Weekly → Daily
- Smart tracking with color-coded indicators (green/yellow/red)
Visual Statistics
- Pie charts showing category distribution at each time level
- Detailed tables with allocated vs. remaining hours
- Progress bars for visual tracking
Interactive Allocation Editor
- Drag-to-adjust percentage bars
- Quick-fill buttons (10%, 25%, 50%, Max)
- Parent budget warnings to prevent over-allocation
- Undo/redo support
Why I built this
Most planning systems focus on output ("What did I get done?"). This plugin focuses on inputs ("What am I spending my time on?"). It's not a task manager—it's a time investment tracker that helps you decide what deserves your time in the first place.
