How to Time Block in Obsidian with Day Planner

Time blocking is a simple practice that provides HUGE focus benefits. Traditionally it's been done either analog (using paper & pen) or in a digital calendar app. But if you're in Obsidian all the time anyway, wouldn't it be handy to have your time blocked daily plan available in the sidebar?

In this video, I show you how to do just that using the Day Planner plugin.

In addition to walking through the plugin settings and sharing some essential time blocking tips, I also show you some of the advanced features the plugin offers (like moving a block and having all the other time blocks around it adjust at the same time).
