Basics of FAKRA

My system uses two primary classes of data: organizational elements and informational/data elements. These classes are supported by digital tools that supports linking and tagging along with file storage.

Organizational elements primarily have links to informational/data elements. Informational/data elements consist of text, pictures, audio, video, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. Essentially anything you can store.

The specific organizational categories I am using are:

  • Focus (Business, Growth, Home-Life)
  • Activities (Projects, Tasks, Spheres (of responsibility)

Knowledge is stored in:

  • Knowledge Garden and blooms as our understanding of information and the world around us matures and grows

The Informational/data elements are stored in:

  • Repositories: And I am using a separate vault to store items that are not ‘active’ but need to be available and to more easily manage synchronizing to lower storage volume devices:
  • Archives: (synchronized on my desktop/laptop but not needed on my phone)

Along with these elements, I have a few support elements:

  • Inbox
    a place to hold information that has not yet been categorized and tagged
  • Calendar Helps manage time-based activities
  • Extras
    • Templates: an obsidian specific location to to store … templates
    • Searches: user-defined Obsidian searches
    • other resources: information about Obsidian, markdown, … (might belong in a repository)
  • Hard Delete the place I move files and folders I don’t want to hold in my .trash that I periodically delete via the computer file manager.
