# Date formatting in Obsidian
When it comes to fucking with the ==Daily Notes== plugin's date formatting:
https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/
This was what he had it set as, to mimic Roam, but *to hell with Roam!*
`MMMM Do, YYYY`
now that seems to work fine and all but sometimes it is nice to have a blank note
what about this...
`MMMM Do, YYYY A`
we'd be able to break it up into two then
nah think about it, the very specific file names although make for a big pile of files is what encouraged the hyper use of linking in the first place the last time you used this before fucking off to roam.
do something pretty much like [[Zettelkasten]] then
YYYYMMDDHHII
YYYYHHMM
```
YYYY-MMDD_HHmm
```
