Here’s how I organize stuff, from tasks to folders and files, to projects.
File & Folder Organization
I have implemented a system inspired by [https://johnnydecimal.com/](Johnny Decimal).
Projects (folders)
I have a full-time job, a side-gig or two, and, naturally, a personal life. As such, I’ve implemented projects as the first layer of my taxonomy.
000 - [Reserved for Management] 001 - Emerson 500 - Consulting, Company Management 501 to 899 - Consulting, per-customer 900 - [Reserved] 901 to 999 - Full-time Employment,
Areas (folders)
Areas are the second layer of my taxonomy. There are never more than ten areas per project.
001.00 to 001.09 - [Reserved for Management] 001.10 to 001.19 - Finance 001.20 to 001.29 - Residence 001.30 to 001.39 - 001.40 to 001.49
Categories (folders)
Categories are the third layer of my taxonomy. There are never more than ten categories per area.
001.10 to 001.19 - Finance 001.10.10 - Financial Plan 001.10.11 - Tax Returns 001.20 to 001.29 - Residence 001.20.
Reading
I shorten the Dewey Deciman Categories by one place, since I don’t need anything more granular than the main high-level categories. “100”, Philosophy & Psychology, becomes “10” and 400, “Language”, becomes “40”.
00 – Computer science, information and general works 10 – Philosophy and psychology 20 – Religion 30 – Social sciences 40 – Language 50 – Pure Science 60 – Technology 70 – Arts and recreation 80 – Literature 90 – History and geography
Photos & Music
Photos & Music (generally referred to as media) are somewhat exempt from this, since I’ve found no better way to store them than by-date.
