Philosophy

  • Precision: Indexing (00 - 99) ensures structural stability.
  • Atomic: Each directory serves a singular, well-defined purpose.

Directory structure

  • 00.inbox/ - Quick capture buffer for unprocessed notes.
  • 01.projects/ - Active work items with a specific goal.
  • 02.areas/ - Ongoing responsibilities (e.g., health, finance).
  • 03.resources/ - Knowledge base, reference materials, and attachments.
  • 04.archives/ - Cold storage for completed efforts.
  • 05.dailies/ - Chronological daily ledger and notes.
  • 99.system/ - Vault infrastructure and automation.

Conventions

  • Indexing: [00-99]. (e.g., 01.).
  • Naming Folders: snake_case.
  • Naming Files: kebab-case.
