Multi-Scale Planning is a way to plan your day so that what you do is in alignment with your longer-term plans and ultimately even your vision and values. It's something that @CalNewportMedia talks about a lot, and as a big fan of his, I decided to try and implement his method in Obsidian.
In this video, I'll show you how to do it using a combination of plugins and templates.
