Articles like this are nice for picking out ideas to incorporate into your own system. I try to avoid reading much "productivity porn" because it gets repetitive and what captures your attention is the novelty of an idea rather than its effectiveness.

There's no system that works for everyone. You have to develop your own, and it will evolve because you change. I started journaling over 10 years ago - it was a simple "daily log" that I only wrote in occasionally. Over time I got more prolific and proficient at it. The structure of that journal became more complex, with different journals for day-job vs personal, multiple levels of summary vs detail planning/notes/ideas, and links between them. I've had to refactor that structure and the taxonomy of tags many times. And much like he describes here, I ended up adding cheatsheets and Q&A and dev templates. *There's no way I'd recommend this system to a beginner.* You have to build your own system according to where you're at in your journey.
