Complete video guide for Periodix-Planner - watch to learn all features in action.

Full Feature Walkthrough​

What This Video Covers: Periodix Planner turns Obsidian into a time-aware planning system that helps you reason about where your time goes, not just what you get done.

Core Concepts:

  • Automatic Periodic Note Generation - Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes (always one step ahead)
  • Hierarchical Linking - Notes connected through frontmatter metadata creating a navigable time structure
  • Time Investment Model - Allocate time into categories (work, learning, health, relationships, projects), not tasks
  • Budget Flow - Time budgets cascade from year → quarter → month → week → day
  • Visual Feedback - See remaining, exhausted, or over-allocated time at a glance
  • Complementary to Task Managers - Focus on deciding what deserves your time, not just execution

Philosophy: This plugin treats time like a finite investment portfolio. You cannot do everything. Periodix Planner forces prioritization by making trade-offs visible. Tasks are result-oriented; Periodix Planner is time-oriented.

Advanced Features & Workflow​

What This Video Covers: In this video, I walk through all the new major features introduced since the first Periodix Planner video release, while demonstrating how they work inside a real planning workflow. I also show how I combine Periodix Planner with Prisma Calendar to precisely plan and visualize my time.

Note: If you haven't seen the first Periodix Planner video yet, I recommend starting there to understand the core concepts before diving into the advanced workflow shown here.
