Obsidian weekly summary

obsidian-weekly-summary

Read the daily notes for the current calendar week and produce a structured summary of the most important things done.

Step 1: Determine the current week's dates

Use Python to calculate Monday–today:

python3 -c "
from datetime import date, timedelta
today = date.today()
monday = today - timedelta(days=today.weekday())
days = [monday + timedelta(days=i) for i in range((today - monday).days + 1)]
for d in days:
    print(d.strftime('%Y%m%d'), d.strftime('%A'))
"

The vault path for daily notes: ~/Code/personal/obsidian/zettelkasten/06 Daily/<YYYY>/<YYYYMMDD>.md

Step 2: Read each note that exists

For each date in the week, read the file if it exists. Skip missing files silently — the week may not be complete yet.

Read files directly with the Read tool (do not use bash cat).

Step 3: Analyze the content

Each note has two sections:

## Aufgaben — tasks with checkboxes:

• - [x] = completed ✅
• - [ ] = not done (skip these in the summary)

## Notizen — bullet points with emoji prefixes. The key categories:

Emoji	Category	Include?
🏃🏻‍♂️	Running (Norwegian Protocol, etc.)	Yes — note duration and heart rate
💪	Strength training	Yes — note exercise and sets
🚶‍♂	Walking	Yes if notable (>30 min)
🎓	Learning (Duolingo, Anki)	Summarize totals per app across the week
⌨️	Keyboard practice (Colemak-DH)	Summarize total time
📺	TV shows	Yes — list shows watched
📚	Books	Yes — note title and progress %
🎬	Movies	Yes
🎙️	Podcasts	Only if something notable is mentioned; skip routine morning podcasts
🛍️	Shopping	Yes if notable
🤩	Highlights / notable moments	Always include
🩸	Blood pressure	Skip
🛌	Sleep	Skip (too routine)
🩻	Health/feeling	Include only if notable (illness, injury)
☀️/🌧️	Weather	Skip
🥐/🥗	Food	Skip unless the entry is a meal out or social context
🍪	Snacks	Skip

Freeform text entries (no leading emoji, or with 🤩) are usually the most important — social events, notable experiences, decisions made. Always include these.

Tasks with time/person context (e.g., [x] 12:00 Uhr – Mittagessen mit X) count as social events.

Step 4: Produce the summary

Write the summary in German, matching the language of the vault. Structure it as follows:

## Wochenrückblick: KW XX (DD. – DD. Monat YYYY)

### ✅ Aufgaben erledigt
- bullet per completed task (with day if helpful for context)

### 🏃 Sport & Fitness
- bullet per workout (type, duration, notable stats)

### 🎓 Lernen
- Duolingo: X Sprachen: Sprache A ca. Y Minuten, Sprache B ca. Y Minuten
- Anki: ca. Z Karten, ca. Y Minuten insgesamt
- Colemak-DH: ca. Y Minuten insgesamt

### 👥 Soziales & Termine
- bullet per social event or notable appointment

### 📺 Medien
- 📺 TV: list shows + episodes (one line per show)
- 📚 Bücher: title + progress (one line per book)
- 🎬 Filme: titles (one line per movie)

### ✨ Highlights
- bullet per notable moment, freeform text, or 🤩 entry

### 📝 Sonstige Notizen
- anything notable that doesn't fit above (shopping, health issues, etc.)

Omit any section that has no entries. Keep bullets concise — one line per item. For learning totals, add up minutes across all days.

If the week has only 1–2 days (e.g., it's Monday or Tuesday), note this naturally: "Die Woche hat gerade erst begonnen."

Write this weekly review into a file in ~/Code/personal/obsidian/zettelkasten/06 Daily/Wochenrückblick/<YYYY>-W<WW>.md (e.g. 2026-W21.md). Use zero-padded week number.

If the file does not exist, create it from the Weekly Template via:

obsidian create path="06 Daily/Wochenrückblick/2026-W21.md" template="Weekly Template"

Then append the content (h2 headline + h3 sections) to the file. If the file already exists, update it with the new sections.
