A system to organise your life
组织生活的系统
Johnny.Decimal is designed to help you find things quickly, with more confidence, and less stress.
Johnny.Decimal 旨在帮助您快速、更有信心且更少压力地找到事物。
You assign a unique ID to everything in your life.
你为生活中的每一样事物都分配了一个独一无二的 ID。
These IDs help you stay organised. They impose constraints that make it harder to get lost. And you create your own index to link everything in your digital life together.
这些 ID 有助于您保持井然有序。它们施加的约束使得迷失变得更加困难。而您可以创建自己的索引，将数字生活中的所有内容相互关联起来。
The system is free to use. There’s a website — which you’re reading — a blog, and a really helpful forum. I answer every email personally.
该系统可免费使用。有一个网站——您正在阅读的这个——一个博客，以及一个非常有用的论坛。我亲自回复每一封电子邮件。
If you want extra help setting up your system, I sell a workshop which people really enjoy. This is how me and my partner Lucy earn a living; we’re just two people trying to make the internet nicer.
如果您需要额外的帮助来设置系统，我提供一个工作坊，人们非常喜欢。我和我的搭档露西就是通过这种方式谋生的；我们只是两个努力让互联网变得更美好的人。
Announcement, July 2024 公告，2024 年 7 月
We’ve been spending the last few weeks developing a standard ‘life admin’ pack. The idea is that it’ll handle 95% of what 95% of people need to run their daily lives.
我们最近几周一直在开发一个标准“生活管理”包。其理念是，它将处理 95%的人在日常生活中所需的 95%的事务。
We’ve spent a hundred hours figuring it out so that you don’t have to.
我们已经花费了上百小时来解决这个问题，以便您无需再费心。
See this blog post for more information and a pre-sale discount. Or buy either the workbook or workshop and we’ll include a copy of the pack. Offers expire when the pack is released.
欲了解更多信息及预购优惠，请参阅此博客文章。或购买工作手册或研讨会任一，我们将附赠一份套装。优惠将在套装发布时失效。
When it’s ready later this month, you’ll get an email with a download link. You don’t need to do anything.
本月晚些时候准备就绪时，您将收到一封包含下载链接的电子邮件。您无需进行任何操作。
新标准“生活管理”区域
The problem 问题
In real life, if you stored your stuff in piles of badly-labelled boxes you’d never find anything again.
在现实生活中，如果你把东西堆在标签杂乱的箱子里，你将再也找不到任何东西。
If you put those boxes in boxes, in boxes, you’d never know which box to open to find the next box. It would be chaos.
如果你把那些盒子放进盒子里，再放进盒子里，你永远不知道该打开哪个盒子才能找到下一个盒子。那将会是一片混乱。
But I just described how you save your computer files.
但我刚刚描述了如何保存您的计算机文件。
The solution 解决方案
Imagine your computer as a physical storage space. We can’t put everything on the floor, so we buy some shelves.
想象你的电脑是一个实体存储空间。我们不能把所有东西都放在地上，所以我们买了一些架子。
If we had a limitless number of shelves, we wouldn’t know which one to look on when we wanted to find something. So we get ten shelves.
如果我们有无数个书架，当我们想找某样东西时，我们不知道该去哪个书架找。因此，我们只设十个书架。
We decide to dedicate each shelf to an area of our life.
我们决定将每个书架专门用于我们生活中的一个领域。
The first will contain everything to do with our life administration. The second is for our home business, and the third covers our music hobby.
第一个将包含与我们 life administration 相关的所有内容。第二个是关于我们的 home business ，而第三个则涵盖了我们的 music 爱好。
(Notice that we don’t try to use all ten shelves. There’s room to grow.)
（请注意，我们并未尝试使用所有十个货架。留有发展空间。）
Each shelf has space for ten boxes. So we need to decide how to categorise the things that we’re going to store.
每个架子有存放十个盒子的空间。因此，我们需要决定如何对将要存储的物品进行分类。
In life administration we decide on a box each for finance, health, house, education, technology, and travel.
在 life administration ，我们分别为 finance 、 health 、 house 、 education 、 technology 和 travel 各选一个盒子。
Your categories might be different. Maybe you own a car, or have kids. You design your system to suit your life.
您的分类可能有所不同。或许您拥有一辆车，或者有孩子。您设计系统以适应您的生活。
Our boxes have space for a number, so we label everything neatly.
我们的盒子有数字空间，因此我们整齐地标记所有物品。
(I’ll explain on a later page why the first box isn’t number 01 or 10.)
（我将在后面的页面上解释为什么第一个框不是编号 01 或 10 。）
File your stuff in folders
将您的资料归档到文件夹中
Now we have categorised boxes. Let’s organise our travel insurance.
现在我们有了分类的盒子。让我们来整理我们的旅行保险。
We put our documents in folders, and store those folders in the boxes.
我们将文件放入文件夹，并将这些文件夹存放在箱子中。
Every folder gets a number. This helps us keep track of them. We start at 01, and give each new folder the next available number.
每个文件夹都有一个编号。这有助于我们跟踪它们。我们从 01 开始，并为每个新文件夹分配下一个可用编号。
So the first item in our 16 Travel category might be a trip we took: 16.01 Singapore, Jun 2022.
因此，我们 16 Travel 类别中的第一项可能是一次旅行： 16.01 Singapore, Jun 2022 。
The next item we file is 16.02 Travel insurance.
我们接下来归档的项目是 16.02 Travel insurance 。
And this is exactly how we structure our file system.
而这正是我们构建文件系统的方式。
The Johnny.Decimal ID 约翰尼十进制 ID
Each of our items now has a number. They’re always two digits, a decimal, and two digits.
我们每件商品现在都有一个编号。它们总是由两位数、一个小数点和两位数组成。
16.02 22.06 31.17
This number is really useful.
这个数字真的很有用。
It provides structure 它提供了结构
The Johnny.Decimal ID tells us exactly where a thing is. The numbers before the decimal are the item’s category, and they define the structure of your system.
Johnny.Decimal ID 精确地告诉我们某物的位置。小数点前的数字是该项目的类别，它们定义了您系统的结构。
At a glance, you know what sort of thing the item contains. You’ll be astonished at how many of your category numbers you remember.
一眼望去，你便能知晓物品所包含的内容。你会发现自己记住的类别编号之多，定会感到惊讶。
They’re easy to communicate
它们易于沟通
They’re short, memorable, and can be spoken out loud. Say it like “sixteen oh-two” or “thirty-one dot seventeen”.
它们简短、易记，并且可以大声说出来。比如“十六零二”或“三十一点十七”。
This is really handy when you want to tell someone (including your future self) where a thing is.
这真的很方便，当你想告诉某人（包括未来的自己）某物的位置时。
Things stay where they are
事物停留在原处
The alphabet is a great way to organise a dictionary, but it’s a terrible way to organise your files.
字母表是组织词典的好方法，但用它来组织文件却非常糟糕。
Alphabetically, things move around as you create other things. So you never get a chance to develop muscle memory: you’re always hunting for what you want.
按字母顺序排列，随着你创建其他事物，事物会不断移动。因此，你永远没有机会培养肌肉记忆：你总是在寻找你想要的东西。
Numbers solve this problem. In our example above, the categories in area 10-19 aren’t alphabetical. They sort by the category number.
数字解决了这个问题。如上例所示，区域 10-19 中的分类并非按字母顺序排列，而是根据分类编号进行排序。
And so when we create a new category, 17 Aardvark collection, nothing moves.
因此，当我们创建一个新类别时， 17 Aardvark collection ，没有任何东西移动。
It imposes limits 它设定了限制
Your computer will let you create any number of folders, anywhere you want.
您的电脑将允许您在任何所需位置创建任意数量的文件夹。
It turns out this is a terrible idea.
结果证明这是一个糟糕的主意。
The ‘no more than ten’ concept is at the heart of Johnny.Decimal.
“不超过十个”的概念是 Johnny.Decimal 的核心。
When you start looking for a thing, you have no more than ten areas to choose from. Your thing must be in one of them: select the most appropriate and now you can ignore the others.
当你开始寻找某样东西时，你只有不超过十个区域可供选择。你的目标必定在其中之一：挑选最合适的，然后就可以忽略其他了。
Now you have no more than ten categories to choose from. Repeat the process.
现在你只需从不超过十个类别中进行选择。重复此过程。
We’ve arrived in a folder with no more than one hundred IDs. If you created your thing recently, it’ll be one of the higher numbers. If you created it a while ago, it’ll be one of the lower numbers.
我们已进入一个包含不超过一百个 ID 的文件夹。若您最近创建了您的项目，它将是编号较高的一个。若您较早前创建了它，它将是编号较低的一个。
And things that you created together, stick together. The alphabet isn’t around to ruin the party.
而你们共同创造的事物，将紧密相连。字母不会来破坏这场派对。
Is this for home or work?
这是用于家庭还是工作？
Anywhere you want. The concepts are the same no matter what you want to organise.
任何你想要的地方。无论你想组织什么，概念都是相同的。
I like it! What next?
我喜欢它！接下来呢？

I’ve recorded a comprehensive video workshop with my partner Lucy. We use the 120+ page workbook to create her system from scratch.
我与合作伙伴露西录制了一套全面视频工作坊。我们利用这本 120 多页的工作手册，从零开始构建她的系统。
