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. GitHub: [https://github.com/Real1tyy/Periodix-Planner](https://github.com/Real1tyy/Periodix-Planner) # 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. # To Find Out More \- Full YouTube video showing all features in action \- A lot screenshots in the documentation and README to see how it looks visually \- Comprehensive documentation with all settings and features documented \- Everything is linked in the GitHub repo README I'd love to hear your feedback. Feel free to test it out and let me know your thoughts. **Installation**: Available via BRAT (Community Plugins coming soon)
