Periodic Notes

Periodic notes help you build rhythmic recording habits -- daily notes capture the day, weekly notes review the week, monthly notes summarize the month, quarterly notes set goals, yearly notes plan direction.

Daily Notes

Create a Daily Note

Aino LifeOS auto-creates a daily note each day. Click the "Today's Daily Note" shortcut in the left sidebar to open it.

Daily Note Template

Here is the daily note template from the LifeOS example vault:

## 项目列表

%%项目的今日快照%%
<% LifeOS.Project.snapshot() %>

## 日常记录

%%你的记录%%

## 习惯打卡

%%打卡不会被统计为任务%%

- [ ] 起床一杯水
- [ ] 早餐
- 喝水
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
- [ ] 原味英语
- [ ] 项目耗时统计
- 休息一下
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
- 站立式办公
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
  - [ ] +1
- [ ] 记账

## 精力分配

%%今日的项目列表，根据耗时情况，自动统计项目耗时占比%%

```LifeOS
ProjectListByTime
```

## 今日截止

%%今日截止的笔记列表，从所有的笔记中提取%%

```LifeOS
TaskDueListByTime
```

## 今日完成

%%今日完成的任务列表，从所有的笔记中提取%%

```LifeOS
TaskDoneListByTime
```

Key modules in the template:

Module	Description
`<% LifeOS.Project.snapshot() %>`	Auto-lists active project snapshots for tracking daily time spent per project
`ProjectListByTime`	Auto-calculates time distribution across projects based on daily records
`TaskDueListByTime`	Extracts tasks due today from all vault notes
`TaskDoneListByTime`	Extracts tasks completed today from all vault notes

Tip

Daily notes don't need to be long. 3-5 bullet points are enough. The key is recording consistently every day, using theme tags to link entries to corresponding theme notes.

Weekly Notes

Weekly Note Template

The core of weekly notes is "plan tasks" and "review progress." Here is the example template:

> 安排周度任务

%%分别从要事维度和角色维度安排任务%%

# 任务

## 要事维度

%%本周经历的项目列表，从本周的日记中提取，并自动统计项目耗时占比%%

```LifeOS
ProjectListByTime
```

## 本周截止

%%本周截止的任务列表，从所有的笔记中提取%%

```LifeOS
TaskDueListByTime
```

## 角色维度

### 职员

%% 作为职员，对于这个月的任务，你如何拆解本周任务呢？ %%

- OKR
- #工作/one-one
  - [ ] 与 xxx #工作/one-one

### 丈夫

### 父亲

### 儿子

### 自己

- [ ] 规划下一周

# 复盘

## 本周收集

%%本周收集的任务列表，从本周的日记中提取%%

```LifeOS
TaskRecordListByTime
```

## 本周完成

%%本周完成的任务列表，从所有的笔记中提取%%

```LifeOS
TaskDoneListByTime
```

Key design of weekly notes:

Key projects -- Auto-aggregates time data for each project during the week, showing where time was spent
Role-based planning -- Plans tasks by life roles (employee, spouse, parent, etc.) to ensure balance across all aspects of life
Review section -- TaskRecordListByTime auto-collects all tasks from daily notes that week; TaskDoneListByTime lists completed ones

Monthly Notes

Monthly notes start from quarterly goals and break them down into monthly tasks:

> 安排月度任务

%%分别从要事维度和角色维度安排任务%%

# 任务

## 要事维度

%%本月经历的项目列表，从本月的日记中提取，并自动统计项目耗时占比%%

```LifeOS
ProjectListByTime
```

## 本月截止

%%本月截止的任务列表，从所有的笔记中提取%%

```LifeOS
TaskDueListByTime
```

## 角色维度

```

```

Quarterly Notes

Quarterly notes start from yearly goals and set quarterly objectives:

> 制定季度目标

%%分别从要事维度和角色维度设定目标%%

# 目标

## 要事维度

%%领域的本季快照%%
<% LifeOS.Area.snapshot() %>

## 本季截止

%%本季截止的任务列表，从所有的笔记中提取%%

```LifeOS
TaskDueListByTime
```

## 角色维度

### 职员

%% 作为职员，你有什么年度目标呢？ %%

### 丈夫

### 父亲

### 儿子

- [ ] 与 #家人/爷爷 通话一次
- [ ] 与 #家人/外婆 通话一次

### 自己

# 复盘

## 项目列表

%%本季经历的项目列表，从本季的日记中提取，并自动统计项目耗时占比%%

```LifeOS
ProjectListByTime
```

## 本季收集

```LifeOS
TaskRecordListByTime
```

## 本季完成

Note that quarterly notes use <% LifeOS.Area.snapshot() %> to auto-list current area snapshots, helping you set quarterly goals from an area perspective.

Yearly Notes

> 制定年度目标

%%分别从要事维度和角色维度设定目标%%

Periodic Note Hierarchy

From yearly to daily, predictability increases:

Period	Core Purpose	Key Action
Yearly	Sense of direction	Set yearly goals by role, starting from areas
Quarterly	Sense of purpose	Set quarterly objectives from area snapshots
Monthly	Sense of rhythm	Break quarterly goals into monthly tasks
Weekly	Execution power	Break monthly tasks into weekly tasks + review
Daily	Recording power	Low-pressure recording, habit tracking, time tracking
