Johnny.Decimal is a system to organise your life. Find things, quickly, with more confidence, and less stress. It's free to use and the concepts are the same at home or work.
If you use the command line it can make a few keys take you to your destination since the beginning is always distinct by 1 character (for 10 or less categories per layer to avoid 2 char completion requirement).
0 tab 8 tab 11 tab, you are now at:
~/0-code/8-api-upgrade/11-infrastructure-pipeline
Works better for work that you use similar repos for a repeated number of times. I find for personal projects by the time I remember a completion combo, I might not need it any longer.
How is this better than being top level folders like school, receipts, car maintenance etc and then naming your files like:
2025-02-21 - car service receipt.PDF
Easy to find and see what is newest since it alphabetical by age and easy to search since the file name is descriptive.
Combine this with better search tools like powertools OK windows and it seems way more intuitive than this system.
Combine this by having the folder in a backup solution like google drive / Nextcloud / seafile etc and you can access these files anywhere securely.
