Genesis (Obsidian Template)

An Obsidian journal template that I use for Project Genesis.

Template Usage

1. Go to the Releases page and download the latest .zip file.
2. Unzip the archive and copy the Genesis/ directory to wherever you want to store your journal.
3. Open the directory as a vault in Obsidian.

Entries

This directory contains your daily notes, dreams, and entries. It is organized in this template:

Entries/
└───<year>/
    └───<xx> - <month>/
        ├───<YYYY-MM-DD>E.md
        └───<YYYY-MM-DD>/
            └───<YYYY-MM-DD>/
                ├───Notes/
                │   └───<YY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS>N.md
                └───Dreams/
                    └───<YY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS>D.md

Every date is linked to one Entry. Each entry can contain multiple Notes (things you want to write in your journal) and/or multiple Dreams (dreams you had that day).

Media

When you attach an image, a video, an audio recording, or a document in your notes, it will be placed in this directory.

Meta

This directory contains data about your journal, including templates and your mood data.

People

When you add a person in your journal, their files are added here.
