A system for academics or a tried and true way to implement the native JD would be a great thing. I am currently trying to move from PARA with some numbering to JD after a couple of years. PARA doesn’t feel right for my work. I think it is better for a faster-paced kind of work. I constantly use materials from my archive, e.g. from previous years’ courses, I need them here not there, and I feel that building a body of materials (a repository) incremented/modified a bit each year does not work well with juggling folders between Projects/Areas/Archive. It would be better if a course had its place, constantly augmented by new experience but with everything what was there before at hand.
Same for research.
But while for research I kind of seem to find my way with JD, I struggle with organizing teaching folders. I’d like to have a clear way of storing the materials of previous years.

It feels like separate projects for each year are too much. But I can’t find my way around if the course is a project and the years should be inside it.
