End-of-Year Retrospectives

These have always been kind of hard for me. I think that is maybe partly because I thought I had no basis on which to judge a whole year or period of time and partly because I usually could only remember the highlights, and was afraid that would not be a fair representation of that period of time.

On a kind of unrelated topic, I have been using obsidian.md as a note-taking and journaling tool for some months now and the flexibility it allows, specially with some wonderful community plugins such as dataview is really great, specially with you want to do some more fancy stuff with your notes.

That said, I created a small dataviewjs script that checks each daily journal note in my \daily folder for a property called "day rating" that ranges from 1-5 and displays each one in a grid, inspired by GitHub's contribution grid, to create an overview of the time period specified.

Daily Tracker
Should be interesting to use this as an overview of the year in December.
