Daily Journal Review in Obsidian: How I Use Dataview for a Smarter PKM Workflow

Want to level up your personal knowledge management system? In this video, I walk you through my daily journal review workflow using Obsidian and the Dataview plugin — a complete game-changer for organizing and recalling past journal entries.

I’ll show you how I:

• Set up a Home Note for quick access to my most important notes
• Use Dataview queries to surface journal entries from the past week, month, and year
• Structure my PKM system for effortless task tracking, book notes, and writing projects
• Leverage Obsidian’s markdown and plugins to keep everything connected

This approach has transformed my ability to reflect, track progress, and maintain an effective journaling habit.
