Hi Obsidian Community!

I link all notes to the daily notes of the day on which these notes were created (automatically via Templater). But I noticed that I can't see anything in my graph view. There are way too many connections and everything is centered around my daily notes.

How am I supposed to identify emergent structures in this mess?

Am I doing LATCH wrong?

Should I skip the linkage and leave it as a date key just without the brackets?

Or am I just misunderstanding how emergence works?

Looking forward to any ideas, thoughts, opinions and general input!

Hello Obsidian Community, I would like to hear your opinion on the following matter:

Background

In my daily notes I use a comment block after Yaml, in which I link to yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's daily notes. The daily note links to itself, because all my notes are linked to the daily note of the day on which they were created and it just stuck, when I edited my default template to create a daily note template.

Issue

Sometimes I create a daily note for a specific day a couple days later, and thus my memory is not as good as on the evening of the day in question.

Proposal

Now I figured that it might be sensible to record that information by linking daily notes not necessarily to themselves via the today key, but to the daily note of the day, when I actually did write down what happened on that day.

What is your opinion on that? Any real benefit here? Would that be worse? Do you have any other input?

Interested to hear your thoughts!
