Demo and Preparations#
Plugins#
The following plugins are required for this tutorial:
- toggl track integration
To install, after installing Obsidian and setting up the vault, click on the small gear icon in the bottom left corner and go to "community plugins" -> "browse".
Search for the plugin name mentioned earlier and install it!

This is easily solved. To find the Toggl Track API key, go to Toggl Track's "profile settings" and scroll down to find "API key". Copy it and reopen Obsidian's settings.
Enter the API token, select the Toggl Workspace, and click "connect" to test it:
I entered the following markdown syntax and successfully displayed the first statistic:

In the end, they were divided into the following categories:
- Life (Sorting, Laundry, Cooking, Eating, WC)
- Sleep
- Entertainment (Games, Music, Drama, Anime)
- Social (Media, Chatting, Video Channels)
- Code (Open-Source, Self-learning)
- Try new things (Painting)
- Language (Japanese, English, and more)
- Work (Cetus, Other billable projects)
- Blog
- Exercise (Sports, Jogging)
- Reading (Technical books, Novels)
- University (Courses, Group Work)
- Waste
