Johnny Decimal System

  • The Johnny Decimal system, created by John Noble, is a numerically-based structure for organizing digital files. Inspired by the Dewey Decimal system, it is a practical approach to the challenge of sorting and finding digital files.

  • The essential steps of this approach are to:

    • Break everything up into 10 areas (or less).
    • Break each of those areas into 10 categories (or less).
    • Assign ID numbers to those areas and categories.
    • Assign IDs to files and folders.
  • John Noble has an excellent, easy-to-follow summary of his approach over at his site, where he also hosts a dedicated forum: Home

  • A system to organise projects.
