@trintera’s Option 3 is the closest to what I’ve come up with. Although in my system each person has templated area with unique IDs.
I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this problem. (see Setting up my kids for success. Planning my system with future generations in mind.
Specifically I want a template for my kids to grow into. After a month or so of use this has solved most of my “where should this go” questions. For instance, yesterday my daughter had an eye exam and I was very quickly able to save her perscription in p52.13 Vision Records & Notes
I find it easy to conceptually differientate between things that relate to all of us and things that relate to one person. Sometimes the difference can be subtle, but generally I can come to a clear solution.
I have run into some issues when I need to store information that applies to more than one person. This is where the p17 Family, Friends, & Neighbors area comes into play. If it can conceptuall be applied to more than one of us it lives here. For instance summer camp registration and receipts can be found in p17.10 Childcare, Afterschool Care, & Summercamp This needs some work eventually as it leads to ambiguity.
Our entire system is saved/synced with Google Drive. Eventually it would be relatively easy to modify access.
Here is my AC.ID plan.
note the “p” infront of the Area is for personal. This is how I differientiate our systems, personal and business.

I hope this is helpful. Any thoughts?
p.s. does anyone know how to make windows show emoji correctly? Sometimes they’re nice and colorful and other times they’re just black & white line drawings.
