Multiple Obsidian Daily Note Folders in One Vault?

I was considering doing the same!

You can totally go the two vault route (it’s probably the safest way) but if you really want to keep one vault (I certainly do) I think you could.

Here’s what I thought. Add this line to your daily note template:

[[Personal Daily Notes/{{date:yyyy-MM-DD}}|Today's Personal Note]]

Note that this approach will result in this:

  1. It will create a Personal Daily Notes folder on which you have your Personal DNs saved;
  2. Every file will have its own 2022-01-21 format (courtesy of the template plugin);
  3. It will only create the personal note if clicked from the link on the “Work Daily Note” (this can be a problem on non-work days).

The final item can be worked around by making the Personal DN the default and inserting a link to create the Work DN… but that will result in the DN hotkey to be tied to the personal, not the work DN. Personally, I rather have a shortcut to my Work DN as I refer to it so many times during the day.

EDIT: to fix the curly bracket pointed by @anon41602260, thanks!
