Note Interconnection

All periodic notes in Periodix-Planner are intelligently linked through frontmatter properties, creating a navigable web of time that lets you zoom in and out of your planning horizon effortlessly.

Each periodic note contains links to:

  • Previous period - Same type, earlier in time
  • Next period - Same type, later in time
  • Parent period - The period that contains this one
  • Ancestor periods - All periods above in the hierarchy

Automatic Updates​

Chronological Navigation: Move forward/backward through time (days, weeks, months, quarters, years).

Hierarchical Navigation: Zoom in and out between period levels (Daily → Weekly → Monthly → Quarterly → Yearly).

Context Switching: Quickly see what larger period a note belongs to (e.g., which week contains a specific day).
