Hi dear JD Forum, how can the JD system be concretely applied to corporations or organisation that are globally active (Apple, Google and co.), which areas would one choose? What would a concrete system look like with these amounts of data? Furthermore, I have two more questions: What would a private JD system look like in concrete terms? Which areas should one take specifically? And my last question: Enclosed I have a picture of an organisation of a complete study? How can I convert this folder structure into a JD system? Does anyone have any suggestions? I am happy about every answer, stay healthy all together! ![image](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/uploads/default/original/1X/4e677baded31b45d0fe0b0c356f5c6db3a1ad0cd.jpeg) ---

Hi there! I saw this question via email, thanks for posting it here. 🙂 I just got back from a holiday in the UK – visiting my family for the fist time in 2.5 years! – so am a bit behind on life, but I’m not ignoring this question. I’ll get back to you. 🤝 ---

Great, I am so looking forward to the answer. I hope you had a nice trip. ---

What would a concrete system look like with these amounts of data? Okay so this is a _biiiiiiiig_ question and is probably why I haven’t tried to answer this until now. 😉 How would you design a JD system for all of Apple? I’d start by working for Apple and understanding their business. And then I probably wouldn’t recommend a single JD system for it. And if I did, I’d probably spend about a year and charge them something like $2m to do it. So if you work for Apple, drop me an email and we can talk money. > [@marcel.info](#): > > Furthermore, I have two more questions: What would a private JD system look like in concrete terms? Which areas should one take specifically? See the post ‘[My personal system](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/t/my-personal-system/412)’ or browse the many other topics here where people have discussed their own. But the short answer is: it depends. I can’t tell you what areas you have in your life. What hobbies do you have? Do you have a family? The guidance [on the website](https://johnnydecimal.com/concepts/developing-your-own-system) is to ‘write everything that you do on a sticky note’ and then to ‘group them together in to categories first, and then group those categories in to areas’. I wrote that five years ago, and it’s still what I’d recommend today. > [@marcel.info](#): > > And my last question: Enclosed I have a picture of an organisation of a complete study? How can I convert this folder structure into a JD system? Does anyone have any suggestions? I am happy about every answer, stay healthy all together! The thing here is that you’ve already got a system with 7 levels of hierarchy, as far as I can count. Now that’s not to say that this is a problem — does the structure you’ve shown us not work? If it does work, don’t try to change it just because my website says you should. My system works if you have a bunch of stuff that isn’t _already_ organised in a neat hierarchy. It gives some guidance about how you might do that. But what you’ve got there has a hierarchy built in. Use it!
