J.D system for professors/academics?

Sharing my Categories and Areas

Been plodding thru the workbook. I have decided to use a two “system” collection. The first, below, which I am actively shifting to now is informally called “Being a Professor” and is intended to capture all my teaching, research and service activities. After I finish this, I will flesh out a “Home and Personal” system, which is also intended to be the place where I put my renumerative consulting. I will post that later. But meanwhile, especially from the other academics (and JD), I welcome comments. I’ve decided to have my index in Obsidian, and to use the one note per item method. I will use Obsidian tags to denote file locations (physical, which cloud service, Devonthink, hard drives, etc.)

I am fully aware as I start to go thru my files and re-file them, that this taxonomy may evolve.
