Who is this for?

The Johnny.Decimal Workbook is a step-by-step PDF guide to setting up your own system. The process has been distilled from 10+ years of my experience using Johnny.Decimal and helping others with their set up.

About you: able to devote a few weeks to this process; need to organise work or personal life, a hobby, a community club, or anything else; interested in a customised system; prefer a self-guided approach.

What do I get?

• A 120-page PDF that is clearly designed and professionally edited.¹

• A methodical guide with worksheets to track progress.

• Dedicated support channels on my forum and Discord, or you can email me.

• The reassurance of great customer feedback.²

The workbook can be downloaded immediately. And if you need a more accessible format, your purchase includes a text-only version with accompanying enlarged images.

A process to take control

This workbook is the closest thing to having me in the room with you. Do what I say, when I say, and you will succeed. No matter how disorganised you feel now, by the end you'll have a neatly-organised system, tracked in your JDex.

• 10-19 Define your system's scope

  • First, we set the goals for your system and draw a boundary around what you want to organise. This keeps you focused.

• 20-29 Discovery

  • Then you spend a week writing down everything you do that's related to your scope. This ensures you don't miss anything.

• 30-39 Create your areas & categories

  • Next, you sort your discovery notes into different groups. Now you have a structure.

• 40-49 Build your system

  • Then you add numbers, create IDs, and move your content in. You now have a working Johnny.Decimal system.

• 50-59 The index

  • It's time to create the master record of your IDs, your JDex. It will transform how you work. You should now feel organised and calm.

• 60-69 Working the Decimal way

  • Finally, after your amazing efforts, we relax with a few tips, tricks, and general advice.
