My plain text calendar started off following the calendar.txt format. Then it morphed into Markdown and became calendar.md.

Now it's planner.md! And I love it. It's just like a paper planner where you can plan both hours and tasks. This has been nearly 10 years in the making!

It really does work in any text editor, but I love the level-2* convenience of accessing it with #Obsidian.

@ellane amazing. I am starting a tiny experiment for calendar.txt myself and your words about hourly planning resonate with me and am curious about how planner.md works. One thing I was thinking was more of an "event per line" as opposed to day per line model but otherwise spiritually keep the calendar.txt rules. (I currently use Obsidian Full Calendar to plan my day as a sort of pocket notebook calendar.)

@geetduggal @ellane

(sidetrack: “event per line” pretty much describes Remind by Dianne Skoll – but Remind can also be a little overkill compared to something like calendar.txt)

@cerement Thank you for the link, I won't be using it (couldn't if I tried, with my current tech knowledge) but I love collecting lists of ways people are using text to do cool things. It's level 3, wouldn't you say, @geetduggal ?
