The Master Memex

The central hub and map of content for this personal intelligence organization.

The Master Memex

This is the central hub for our knowledge management system, synthesizing three core methodologies:

  • Atomic Notes: For evergreen, interlinked knowledge (Zettelkasten).
  • GTD (Getting Things Done): For actionable task tracking and project execution.
  • PARA: For high-level directory organization (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives).

The Architecture

Our workspace is strictly divided into these functional zones:

  • Inboxes: The zero-friction capture point for raw thoughts and tasks.
  • Dailies: Immutable chronological logs and fleeting notes.
  • Atomic Notes: Atomic, concept-based, interlinked notes (Zettelkasten).
  • Drafts: Works in progress, essays, and active synthesis.
  • Published: Final outputs and static snapshots of completed work.
  • Projects: Active, time-bound efforts with a clear definition of done.
  • Areas: Ongoing spheres of responsibility (e.g., Health, Finances).
  • Resources: External reference material and raw literature notes.
  • Archives: Cold storage for completed projects and inactive items.
  • System: System configuration, AI skills, and automation scripts.

Core Workflows

1. Capture (Anytime)

Everything enters the system via the `inbox` (for actionable GTD tasks) or as a Fleeting Note in the `daily` log (for knowledge). Zero friction, no filtering. The `inbox` serves as a holding area for unfiled files or raw links.

2. Nightly Distillation (The Scribe)

An automated AI sub-agent reads the daily captures and extracts conceptual thoughts into evergreen, atomic notes (Zettelkasten), leaving the original daily logs untouched.

3. Weekly Maintenance

Review active projects, clarify inbox items into actionable GTD tasks, and explore the Atomic Notes graph to merge concepts and forge new connections.
