To clarify: for all those activities you listed, you used a separate JD system for each, or were they all within the same system?

I really like this idea, and am reading through the site right now, and my main fear is that I'll quickly run out of top-level categories.

Separate! Absolutely separate.

I need to write another page explaining this. You may have many non-overlapping ‘domains’, whose numbers don’t relate to each other at all. You just have to keep them separate: home computer, work computer. This job, the next job. Etc.

The system running my personal life has been going since 2012. Meanwhile, those other jobs have come and gone.

Maybe it’s just me – clearly I have a mind that loves numbers – but I haven’t found it confusing at all.

Weirdly I have found that I have developed my own internal standards. I generally need to travel with work, and that always ends up being ‘16 Travel’.

(10-19 is usually “Administration” at work.)

High on my list of stuff to write is a whole bunch of example pages. Drop me an email if you’d like me to let you know when they’re done.

Thanks!

I don't find the numbers confusing either. It's just my mind couldn't accept that you could fit everything in your life in 10 areas x 10 categories structure (well, 9x9 really, since 0s are for metadata). So thanks for clarifying (and this definitely needs to go on the page, IMO).

If I may ask here, how do you handle things that cut across two or more of your existing systems? Do you duplicate things? Or use references with target collection name, e.g. "Work Computer 12.34 Some shared stuff"?

I'll drop you an e-mail too.
