Prerequisites

• Chrome browser installed

   • Your workspace sidebar on the left
   • The main content area loaded

3. In the left sidebar, locate and click on "Daily Notes" page or database

   • If it doesn't exist, ask the user where they want daily notes stored
   • Navigate to that location

4. Create a new page:

   • If in a database: Click "+ New" button
   • If in a regular page: Click in empty area and type /page then Enter

5. Set the page title to today's date in format:

   📅 YYYY-MM-DD - Day of Week
   

   Example: 📅 2024-01-15 - Monday

6. Add the daily note template structure:

   a. Type the following sections, pressing Enter between each:

7. After creating the template:

   • Click at the end of "Today's Focus" section
   • Position cursor ready for user input

8. Inform the user the daily note is ready and ask what their main focus is for today

Error Handling

• If Notion is slow to load, wait up to 10 seconds before reporting an issue
• If "Daily Notes" doesn't exist, offer to create it
• If a note for today already exists, ask if user wants to open it instead

Customization

Users can request modifications:

• Different template sections
• Time slots for schedule
• Additional emoji or formatting
• Link to yesterday's note

Notes

• The template uses Notion's native checkbox, table, and heading features
• Times are in 24-hour format; adjust based on user preference
• Consider linking to relevant project pages if the user mentions specific work
