Everything else is decoration, and most personal knowledge systems fail because the decoration grew faster than the use. So this one is deliberately small, and honest about the failure mode — a system you do not maintain is just tidier clutter, and an elaborate one fails faster than a simple one. It starts with capture, because capture is the only part that has to be effortless: one inbox, available everywhere, emptied daily in two minutes, with the context recorded and not just the thought. Then organising, using a four-bucket split — projects, areas, resources, archive — explained plainly and credited as a widely used approach rather than anything invented here, with a single question that decides where anything goes and a page of the three mistakes that make it stop working. Then 7 note types, each with a full worked template printed in the guide and supplied as an editable Word document: meeting note, reading note, idea note, decision log, how-to runbook, person note and weekly review. Then the parts that keep it usable: a naming convention with ten worked good titles and eight bad ones and why each fails, linking and tagging that does not rot (link generously, tag sparingly, tags for state and not for subject), the weekly review ritual as a 10-step page and as a fillable document, and a route from notes to output — question, pile, outline, draft — because a system nothing ever comes out of is a hobby. It finishes with what to keep and what to bin, how to migrate an existing messy pile without spending three weekends sorting it, a maintenance routine from daily to annual, and a page on the 6 ways the system fails and what each one actually means. No application is named anywhere; every part of it works in plain files. No credential is ever recorded in a note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE SYSTEM MAP: the whole method drawn on one page — capture, the keep-or-bin decision, the four buckets, the weekly review and the route to output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAPTURE: one inbox everywhere, emptied daily, plus a printable paper capture-inbox page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE FOUR BUCKETS: projects, areas, resources and archive, credited as a widely used approach, with the single question that decides where anything goes and 6 worked answers to the cases that trip people up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 NOTE TYPES WITH FULL TEMPLATES: meeting note, reading note, idea note, decision log, how-to runbook, person note and weekly review — each printed in full in the guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNAMING CONVENTION: 10 worked good titles with the reason each works, and 8 bad ones with the reason each fails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLINKING AND TAGGING: 10 rules for a tag list that does not rot — link generously, tag sparingly, tags for state not subject\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE WEEKLY REVIEW: a 10-step ritual, a printable page, and a separate fillable Word template\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOTES TO OUTPUT: a 10-step route from a question to a finished draft, because notes that never become anything are a hobby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHAT TO KEEP AND WHAT TO BIN: 12 cases across two pages, ending with the one thing that never goes in a note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIGRATING A MESSY PILE: 10 steps that do not involve sorting several thousand old notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMAINTENANCE: 12 routines from daily to annual, and a page on the 6 ways the system fails and what each failure means\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTWO EDITABLE DOCX FILES: Note Templates with all 7 templates, and a fillable Weekly Review Template\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the \u003cstrong\u003eDOCX files in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice\u003c\/strong\u003e and replace the example text with your own details — the layout, spacing and structure are already done.
