I needed a better name for my vault than "Obsidian" or "\_vault". Then I had the idea that I should use the concept of the *Pensieve* from the *Harry Potter* series. It was something Dumbledore was putting extracted memories into to look at again later. Upon looking it up, I found the quote above and... Yeah, pretty much sums up Obsidian.

# Start Here
Here are some good jumping off points:
- [[30.00 My Projects]] - Take a look at my personal coding projects
- [[50.00 Index]] - Notes about mental health, particularly procrastination
- More to come
## Index
I've started to organize this vault with numbers vaguely along the lines of [[Johnny Decimal]], but not quite as strict. All of this is subject to change at any moment, but here is what I have so far
### First Number: Area | Category
- 00-09: Pensieve Meta
- 00 Overal meta
- 01 Journal — daily notes and day plans
- 02 People — all the person notes
- 03 Bookshelf — notes from books, articles, etc. May end up outside of meta eventually. Dunno how to organize it yet.
- 09 Test — random, meaningless test notes
- 10-19: Life — personal stuff about my life that needs to be organized
- 20-29: Proffessional Work
- 30-39: Personal dev (Obsidian, etc)
- 40-49: {reserved for future use}
- 50+ Digital garden: abstract thoughts and concepts
- 50-59: Mental health
- 60-69: Personal Knowledge Management
### AC.(1) - AC.(9) — category meta
- (1) inbox — transient notes that may need to be sorted and solidified still
- (2) media — files, mainly attachments for other notes
- (3) templates — templates or transclusions used across the project
- (9) archive — anything old or outdated that is still hanging around
