Hello Everyone!
Just as a quick introduction because I am very new here, I am a first-year student attending University this semester, and I have been getting into organizing my life. I stumbled across OmniFocus, which snowballed into me finding Obsidian and finding different ways to organize my notes and my ‘second brain.’ I was reading up on JohnnyDecimal and love the visual organization and numerical system. I found this thread while pondering how to organize my vault further than the normal 0-10 > 0 > 0.01 system, and I came up with this fairly simple idea that I’m sure people have shown before. I have no idea what the limits are, but I can’t imagine I’ll have too many different files to put in per semester, and if I do, I can move things down a level.
I do not know if this is considered sacrilegious, but I am trying to make it work for me! The only realistic problem I can see with how I have it set right now is if I need more than 10 per sub-sub category, but I imagine I can do something along the lines of 10.100, 10.101, 10.102, etc. The system will get quite large if need be, but thankfully, that’s why I have a notes app, so I don’t have to keep it all in my head! I have decided against ID’ing text files and will only do it on folders (to keep it as simple as possible for now).
I’d love any feedback or suggestions on ways to improve, as I am very new to this atmosphere of personal organization and note systems.
