To make taking daily markdown notes easier and more organized, I created a simple script to create note files with a date prefix!
It also provides simple customization options to define To-Dos in a note and automatically copy them in next day notes.
python3 porganizer.py
Running this will create a file with the current date's prefix and a default suffix.
The suffix can be changed by simply updating the following paramter:
defaultSuffix = 'DailyLog'
Any note that comes after todoId will be considered as To-Dos for the next note. the todoId can also be simply modified:
todoId = '--------'
Add porganizer.py to your path. This way it can be called from any directory to create organized notes!
export path/to/porganizer.py
Assuming porganizer.py is in the path, it can be simply called from your notes folder.
For making notes even cleaner, a simple script in your notes folder can also call porganizer.py for you:
#!/bin/bash
year=$(date +"%Y")
month_number=$(date +"%m")
month_name=$(date +"%B" | tr a-z A-Z) # find the month name and make it all upper case
month="${month_number}_${month_name}"
mkdir -p $year
cd $year
mkdir -p $month
cd $month
porganizer.py
The above example organizes your porganizer-logs in a YEAR/MONTH order and creates the necessary folders.
Once the folder exists, it runs the porganizer inside the correct folder.
Have fun porganizing! 😊
