00.INFO - Notes, references, some original sources
10.TASKS - Any work I do for a specific person that can be completed in a week
20.PROJECTS - Multiple related tasks or tasks that have transmogrified into a full-blown project
30.MEDIA - Says what it does on the tin
40.ORGANIZATIONS - Different groups I've joined
X0.CORE - Private or important to me alone
X1.PRIMARY - Important to me and I'm responsible for it
X2.SECONDARY - I am responsible for some of the work but it's not important to me
X3.GENERAL - Everything else that I still need to be aware of
X9.ARCHIVE - Everything that I'm to afraid to delete even though it's irrelevant
So a folder/file might look like:
00.INFO/00.2019 JOURNAL/
00.INFO/00.2020 JOURNAL/
10.TASKS/11.2020 PRIMARY TASKS/20200603 JS 401(k) Rate Report.xlsx
20.PROJECTS/21.2020 PRIMARY PROJECTS/202006 FY 2020 401(k) NDT/
40.GROUPS/41.Eberron Campaign/20200531 Campaign Notes.md
I probably overthought it but it makes finding things pretty straightforward.
- enobrev 6y agoI'm surprised your dates are M.Y rather than Y.M. Doesn't that get confusing over time?
- jakamau 6y agoAll of my dating is YYYYMMDD or YYYYMM. Anything that comes before the '.' (e.g. 41.Eberron Campaign) is a two digit code to describe the file, the first digit = type of document and the second digit = personal priority. It's probably convoluted from the outside looking in, but it works for me.
- enobrev 6y agoI see - and of course, that it works for you is most important. I was thrown off by "11.2020 PRIMARY TASKS", which looked like November 2020 at first glance. Now that you mention it, I see that you have a YYYYMMDD filename on that same line.
