My system uses two primary classes of data: organizational elements and informational/data elements. These classes are supported by digital tools that supports linking and tagging along with file storage.
Organizational elements primarily have links to informational/data elements. Informational/data elements consist of text, pictures, audio, video, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. Essentially anything you can store.
The specific organizational categories I am using are:
- Focus (Business, Growth, Home-Life)
- Activities (Projects, Tasks, Spheres (of responsibility)
- Knowledge Garden
and blooms as our understanding of information and the world around us matures and grows
The Informational/data elements are stored in:
- Repositories:
And I am using a separate vault to store items that are not 'active' but need to be available and to more easily manage synchronizing to lower storage volume devices: - Archives:
(synchronized on my desktop/laptop but not needed on my phone)
Along with these elements, I have a few support elements:
- Inbox
a place to hold information that has not yet been categorized and tagged
- Calendar
Helps manage time-based activities
- Extras
- Templates: an obsidian specific location to to store . . . templates
- Searches: user-defined Obsidian searches
- other resources: information about Obsidian, markdown, ... (might belong in a repository)
- Hard Delete
the place I move files and folders I don't want to hold in my .trash that I periodically delete via the computer file manager.
