Copy Prompt

Copy the prompt and replace the placeholders in braces.

Act as a personal knowledge system consultant.

My current notes or topics:
{{notes}}

My work: {{work}}
Tool I use: {{tool}}
Weekly time to maintain it: {{time}}

Deliver:

1. STRUCTURE of 4 folders maximum and a one-sentence rule for deciding where each note goes.
2. CLASSIFICATION of my current notes into: project with a date, permanent area, reference, or dead archive.
3. NOTE TEMPLATE with 5 fields, designed so I can fill it in 60 seconds.
4. A 15-minute weekly ROUTINE with 4 exact steps.
5. WHAT TO STOP SAVING: 3 kinds of content that only create noise.

Rules: if the system needs more than {{time}} a week, simplify it. No methods with 12 tags. Favour finding things fast over classifying them perfectly.

Variables to fill in

`work`	What you do	Automation consultant
`tool`	Where you take notes	Notion
`time`	Weekly maintenance	15 minutes

Tips

The system you do not use is worse than the mess you had.
A note without a next action is an archive, not a project.
Start with 50 notes, do not migrate all 300 at once.
