I'm doing a tiny experiment using my Day cluster notes in Obsidian: Plan, Log, Journal, Review, Actions, and Links. These are the results of my Day 2 trial for Tuesday, Jan 13, 2026 with a brief summary, what went well (Plus), what didn't (Minus), and what can I do (Next).

📆

[****I will use a Day cluster in Obsidian for 5 workdays.**](https://blog.warrenweb.net/experiment-pkm-create-today/)

## Summary

Today was a "review & refine" day focusing on my templates, workflow, and links (with aliases). I reflected on yesterday's problems where I was getting bogged down in Plan and Log with too much detail.   
  
I discovered a better *link strategy* using Actions in Day cluster notes. I point to where the work is, not describe the actual work; this enables the plan stays high-level and strategic, rather than detailed items.  
  
Also, I can use a linked cluster for *all* core knowledge objects such as App, Topic, Concept, Effort, Area, Interest, and Output, like I'm doing my temporal notes for periodic notes across time horizons: Day, Week, Month, Quarter, and Year. 

## ➕ Plus

- Generated navigation wayfinders extremely helpful.
- Examined how I identify and reference actions of various from simple lists to efforts or projects and areas or interests.
- I manually created a working Day cluster window with multiple panes and sliding tab groups to use in my Day workflows.
- Realized that I need to consolidate too many calendars and rethink my session time blocks.
- Having sections for First Light, Meditation, Freewrites, and Last Light in Journal was helpful.

## ➖ Minus

- Spend some time adjusting to minor website changes for integration of PDF report of glucose values yesterday from Dexcom CGM sensor.
- I didn't focus on logging as much since I was mainly working on my Plan first and associated workflows.
- I didn't get some family and finance actions completed.
- Still I didn't do much reading that I want to do.
- I spent more time refining my templates and related workflow practice.

## ➡️ Next

- Test enhanced templates.
- Explore options to execute Obsidian command sequences.
- Automate creation of workspace window layouts for Day cluster workflows.
- Enhance Diabetes Review from Dexcom API
