I get a lot of questions asking how I process Fleeting Notes once they land in Obsidian. There are many ways to approach this but here’s the best method I found for myself.
- Setup Obsidian sync with Fleeting Notes
- Install the Obsidian Dataview plugin
- Enable the Daily Notes plugin in the Obsidian settings (Also, check out how I use daily notes in Obsidian)
- Create a template file for the daily notes, and add the path of the file to the
Template file location - Here’s the template I use (adjusted template for weekly notes):
## Fleeting Notes
```dataview
LIST
FROM "FleetingNotesApp"
WHERE created_date = date({{title}})
```
## Tasks from Fleeting Notes
```dataview
TASK
FROM "FleetingNotesApp"
WHERE !completed
```
## My Notes
Now with this template, I can see all the Fleeting Notes I’ve created for the day and the leftover tasks that I’ve created for myself in Fleeting Notes. What’s great about this is that the Dataview queries are fully customizable and can be changed to fit whatever workflow you have.
