Periodix Planner — A Time-First Planning System for Obsidian
Full walkthrough of Periodix Planner — automatic periodic notes (daily to yearly), hierarchical time structure, and a budgeting system that treats time like a finite investment portfolio.
Not a task manager. A system for deciding what deserves your time.
––––––––––––––––––
Periodix Planner turns Obsidian into a time-aware planning system.
It automatically generates and connects periodic notes (daily → yearly) and introduces a structured time investment model that helps you reason about where your time goes, not just what you get done.
The core idea is to treat time like a finite investment portfolio.
You allocate time into categories (work, learning, health, relationships, projects), observe where it actually goes, and decide whether those investments are worth the returns you're getting.
You cannot do everything.
This system forces prioritization by making trade-offs visible.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS VIDEO
What Periodix Planner Does:
Periodix Planner automatically generates interconnected periodic notes:
• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
• Quarterly
• Yearly
Each note is linked through frontmatter metadata, creating a navigable time structure where every lower period belongs to a higher one — and higher periods track how their time is invested across categories.
This creates a top-down and bottom-up planning system inside Obsidian.
Core Concepts:
• Automatic periodic note generation (always one step ahead)
• Hierarchical linking between time periods via frontmatter
• Time investments allocated into categories, not tasks
• Budgets flowing from year → quarter → month → week → day
• Visual feedback showing remaining, exhausted, or over-allocated time
• How this system complements task managers instead of replacing them
Tasks help you execute.
Periodix Planner helps you decide what deserves your time in the first place.
