Johnny Decimal System is way to organize/structure projects, introduced by Johnny Noble.

Basic Steps:

• Step 1: Divide everything into ten things (Areas)
• Step 2: In each area, divide in ten again (Categories)

Many of the people from the Obsidian Community, like Eleanor Konik, SlRvb, Leah Ferguson, use this system to organize their vaults.

• Eleanor Konik: JD System 2021-11-10 - Eleanor’s Notes - Obsidian Publish
• SlRvb: L-FS - HQ MegaVault - SlRvb - Obsidian Publish
• Leah: File Hierarchy SOP - Leah Ferguson

I’m also planning to use this to organize my vault: File Hierarchy - 2022-06-22.
