2026 Plus Minus Next - Weekly Reviews

These templates makes it easy to record a year’s worth of Plus Minus Next weekly reviews in a plain text app like Obsidian or iA Writer.

Changes in this version: I've added a minimalist version without wiki links or emojis, perfect for any text editor.

If you find an error, please make sure you're looking at the most recent version, then email me or comment on this page to let me know.

The download consists of a series of Markdown files in a folder that can be used in any text editor.

You'll see that the weekly review page is essentially a simple list, as my approach is to stay away from app-specific plugins and features when a simple, more universal solution will do.

There’s a different icon next to each month, chosen to reflect the seasons of the Northern / Southern hemispheres.

The advantage of the emojis goes beyond looking pretty: in the outline pane it’s easy to see which week numbers belong to which month, and which weeks cross from one month to another.
