Categorization System

My theory#

  • Most FS are with tree structure. Yes every file/folder(hereinafter node) belongs to one folder
  • #APP-IDEA A non-tree-structure FS (same as tag+symlink), nodes can belong to multiple folder.
  • Nodes can be organized with indexing to sort/classify creation time, last visit time, purpose of creation.
  • For UX, its better to build a measurable system for classifications. (e.g. I used " difficulty of achieving" for "life-record")
  • For human brain, we should use the same structure on every system, e.g. browser bookmarks, hard disk files, notes like this website and time tracking.

Some classification examples#

  • Use the main purpose of the activities.
  • Core: activities, time-tracking, note, plan all link to activities.
  • Chapter names are the corresponding measurements. The measurement you take partially represents what you value more.

economic income#

  1. work / profitable freelancer works
  2. practice of working skill
  3. learning of working technique (programming language)
  4. long-term investment (reading books, health, language, forming new habits)
  5. personal stuff (buying and selling, cook, pay-to-solve)
  6. leisure (Youtube, gaming, hanging out, travel)
  7. life-support activities (meals, toilet time, sleeping)

personal development#

Maslow's hierarchy of needs

  1. Physiological
  2. Safety
  3. Love and social belonging
  4. Esteem
  5. Cognitive
  6. Aesthetic
  7. Self-actualization
  8. ~~Transcendence~~

How much you can learn. How much effort lives inside.

  1. spiritual activities (museum, book, new habit, meditation, religion, problem solving ability, academic)
  2. professional self-actualization (work, tool, taking notes)
  3. self-actualization (sports, teaching, charity)
  4. cognitive and aesthetic activities (language, writing, art, movie)
  5. social activities (family, love, friend, comforting skill)
  6. life-support activities (meals, toilet time, sleeping)

Replace-ability#

  • How much to pay others to do this job.
  • This is still a money-based measure.

How do I categorize#

Using this personal development system.
