Hi !
I am reading the book Johnny Decimal Workbook, I have read a third of it.
It is recommended to carefully note “from scratch” each thing that will enter the system (on a mindmap, because as a writer I hate working with paper and pen).
However, I have been classifying my documents for years in a system that I have improved over the years, through reflection and practice.
Why would I start from scratch when I already have a rather solid structure that has been refined over the years?
I would rather start from my structure, to improve it even more thanks to your system, it makes sense, doesn’t it?
So I am a little lost, I don’t know how to do it, “where to get on the train”!
A priori, my highest folders would be “Administration”, “Resources & Documentation”, “Writings”, “Freelancer stuff”, “Training courses” (+ maybe “Projects” or “side projects”?).
Does this make sense?
Also, I don’t understand at all the boxes called “worksheet action / action ID”…
I looked at the Quick Start Life Admin example.
There are a lot of folders, and a lot of them don’t concern me.
Its structure doesn’t really speak to me, as a lot of things are too scattered and detailed for my taste.
In short, I don’t know at all what to do with all this information, and where to start!
(I should point out that for the moment I haven’t tried to understand the implementation of numbers (I’m not a numbers person at all, they’ve always confused me!).
I’m trying to think about the structuring of my elements).
Thank you in advance for any advice!
