Keeping a diary / journaling in Obsidian (lemmy.today)

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!

Use ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD) and they will be properly ordered.

I set up forevernotes in Obsidian and configured the daily note format to open the day’s note in forevernotes folder. I don’t journal, but I now use it as a work diary.

When I'm in a certain mode I do. I just use daily notes and the calendar plugin, then I link the days together in a long chain just because I like the look of a streak.

Of course I have been absolutely shite about keeping up with it these days though.
