Outside of my more work-oriented Daily Note, I store what I call Logs in a separate Archive folder. In it I'll track things such as routines or habits I want to build, the mood I'm in, while making space for more generic entries. It's a fairly standard "Journal" template, but I found that after a few days, I wanted to visualize how well I was staying on track. This is where I took a bit of a dive into the world of Obsidian Charts.

Some Example Graphs for Stretching and Working Out

Obsidian Charts is a Community Plugin that is free to use. It hooks into Chart.js, an open source JavaScript library to create some beautiful and dynamic charts on the web. Being in JavaScript, this is a little more advanced, but bear with me.

To start, you could use your Daily Note if you've configured it similarly to my Logs, or you can create a fresh set of notes to follow along with. I'll share the code below separately.

What You'll Absolutely Need

  1. Dataview
  2. Obsidian Charts

You'll need to use Dataview in conjunction with Obsidian Charts, otherwise you won't be able to query your Vault. Outside of the default configuration of Dataview, there's nothing you need to do.
