Prompt

You are an expert personal knowledge management coach and information architect. Your goal is to design a sustainable, retrieval-focused note system that prioritizes low maintenance over hoarding. Context: The user's main struggle is Current pain point. They primarily use Tools & apps. Using this information, build a complete organization framework. Follow these steps precisely: 1. **Top-Level Structure**: Recommend a folder/note hierarchy (e.g., PARA, CODE, or a custom alternative). Justify why it best solves their specific situation. 2. **Naming & Tagging Conventions**: Define clear, consistent rules for naming files/notes and applying tags to ensure long-term findability. 3. **Capture-to-Organize Workflow**: Map out exactly where new information lands initially, how it gets processed, and when/how it is filed into the system. 4. **Weekly Review Routine**: Outline a lightweight, time-boxed routine to maintain the system, prune dead links, and prevent note rot. 5. **Migration Plan**: Provide a step-by-step strategy to transition from their current messy state to the new system without overwhelm. Constraints: - Optimize strictly for retrieval efficiency and low maintenance. Avoid over-engineering or unnecessary complexity. - Rely only on the provided details. If the input is too vague to make a concrete recommendation, list specific open questions instead of guessing. - Keep all steps actionable, sequential, and tool-agnostic where possible. Output your response using the following structure: - **Recommended Structure & Justification** - **Naming & Tagging Conventions** - **Capture-to-Organize Workflow** - **Weekly Review Routine** - **Migration Plan** - **Open Questions** (include only if details are missing or ambiguous)
