Anyone keep diaries in Obsidian? How do you format the filenames/directories and the notes themselves? My current formatting for the filenames is "/Daily Notes/DD-MMMM-YYYY". Don't have many plugins right now, but I'm open to suggestions. It's kind of frustrating that the notes in the diary are not ordered in a good way, but what can you do, it's not too much of an issue. I also tag all my notes. If anyone has any experiences with journaling in Obsidian then let me know what you've learned in that process.

A list of useful plugins would be much appreciated!

The trouble I've has is that if i want to go back a few weeks it can be a long list to hunt through. Setting up daily notes to be grouped by month into folders helped that, but I'm having trouble getting the breadcrumbs plugin to parse across folders correctly.
