How to setup this specific example

Hi everyone
I have just read through the workbook and and thinking about my structure.
I am referring to my existing notes to see how they would fit into this new configuration.
I have a question regarding a specific example.
I was thinking of having an area similar to this (I run Linux so I avoid spaces in file and folder names):

50-59-vehicles
	51-chevy-truck
		51.01-purchase-info
		51.02-maintenance-and-repair
		51.03-insurance
		51.04-other-docs
		...
	52-jeep
		52.01-purchase-info
		52.02-maintenance-and-repair
		52.03-insurance
		52.04-other-docs
		...
	53-rv
		53.01-purchase-info
		53.02-maintenance-and-repair
		53.03-insurance
		53.04-mobile-connectivity
		51.04-other-docs
		...
	54-yamaha-roadstar
		54.01-purchase-info
		54.02-maintenance-and-repair
		54.03-insurance
		54.04-other-docs
		...

I have a document, “tire-pressure-and-torque-settings”, which has the listed information for all the vehicles. It is useful for me to have it all in one file. Where would it make sense for that to go? A new category? I think this would be the only document in it.

Currently I have a well defined folder structure in a note taking app and use full text search with a path component when needed. I can find things quite easily but some parts of my knowledge base feel a little disorganized, thus my research into the JD system.

Thanks

Chris

Would you have room to bump everything here up one number – the Chevy becomes 52 – and set up a 51 Common category, or some similar name?

Or if you don’t think an entire category is worth the bother, stick it in 50. I think of the zero category as managing the entire category, and this fits that model well enough.

I will use 50 for this - that makes complete sense to me.

Thank you
