The Ultimate Guide to File Organization: 5 System You Must To Know

✏️ Sign up for the Visual Thinking Workshop: 🚀Cohort 3 starts on March 25. The video provides valuable insights and tips for anyone looking to improve their file organization and management. I explore different approaches to file organization and management, including the PARA, ACCESS, Johnny Decimal system, flat file structures for GTD, and Zettelkasten note-taking. I also discuss the importance of file naming conventions, metadata, and using tools like Obsidian, Roam, and Logseq to aid in organization. I close by sharing my own reflections on these approaches and how I am applying them to my own folder structure. 🍿Watch next: 📽️ Rethinking my PKM part 5: How do you organize your notes? 📽️ Building a Second Brain Book-on-a-Page: 📽️ How to Take Smart Notes Book-on-a-Page: 📽️ Where Do You Put Your New Permanent Notes?: ----- 00:00 Intro 01:51 Recap: How do you organize your notes? 03:06 What makes a good folder structure? 03:32 Links vs. Folders, Knowledge vs. Action 04:39 PARA 07:08 Johnny Decimal System 09:54 ACCESS 12:34 Flat structure 14:12 Flat - GTD 14:38 Flat - Zettelkasten 15:19 Quick recap 16:10 Reflections on how I apply these in my system 18:43 Closing ----- 🫶 If you find my videos helpful, please say thanks by buying me a coffee: 📩 If you want to connect, you can reach me (@zsviczian) in the Obsidian Members Group (OMG) on Discord or on Twitter. 🐦 ----- Obsidian-Excalidraw Plugin: Obsidian: My blog: Johnny Decimal System: ACCESS Folder Structure: Kit#Set up the ACCESS folder structure Tags: #BASB #PARA #zettelkasten #johnnydecimal #pkm #lyt #obsidianmd #excalidraw #Obsidian #obsidianapp #Obsidiannotetakingapp
