Love this! 👏

@Alex Kakoyiannis I’m well. Welcome to the group 👍

From everything you're describing, you're going to love the Evergreen Vault. After 4 months it's become a big part of my life. I run a lot of projects (personal, family, work and volunteer), each with its own work sessions and tasks, and I couldn't manage it all without this. It does take a little time to get your head around it. I leaned on Claude a lot at the start. I'd ask it questions, and it would explain things and give me advice on how they should be done. I'm on a strata committee, and we're doing a big remediation job at our building. Here's my workflow: I have a "Project - Building Remediation", and under it I have work sessions for everything that's happening. Here are some examples: - Contractor co-ordination and pre-start - Balcony works - Loan administration - Remediation scope and awning - Balcony defects - Sliding door defects - Builder progress payment I have many other projects going on besides the remediation, but this one's a good example. Every time something happens, I start it from the daily note. For example: - 07:30 - [.] 🧹 #area/environment #log/admin [[Project - Building Remediation]] - Email from the builder with questions before work starts - [[Work session on contractor co-ordination and pre-start]] The daily log is a timeline: one line per thing that happened. Each line links to its project, so the project page builds its own history as I go. If there's more to it, the last line links the work session where the detail lives. The work session is where your notes go, and that's where you do all your writing. I know this is starting to sound complicated, but you'll get your head around it. Feel welcome to keep asking questions, happy to help.. :-) Frank

@Mason Brown For the remediation project I bend the rules because there's too much going on. I go back to the same work session each time. I make one work session per topic, not per day, and keep adding to it whenever something new happens on that same subject. Dee's original rule is one new work session each time you "pick up the pen", so a new one for every sitting. I tried to work like that, but with a job as long as this I'd end up with 100 sessions all linked together, and I'd lose track of what happened when. So I bent the rule a little , one session per topic, and I keep adding to it as things happen. As an example. my stormwater works session was started in August, and I'm still adding to it now. The date in the notes title (2026-08-03 Work session on stormwater works) is just the day I started it. Inside the session I put a date heading each time I come back to it, so it reads like a running diary of that one issue..When I open it later, the whole story is in one place, from start to finish. The daily note is what ties it together. Each time I work on it, I start with one log line on that day pointing to the same session. So the daily note shows when things happened, and the work session shows the whole story. I just have a brief summary maybe a sentence or two in the daily note. The only time I start a brand new work session is when: - a new issue comes up that's separate from the others - an existing session gets so big it really covers two different things This method seems to suits what you're describing too. One session per job (or problem), and kept running until it's done, would work really well for hands-on project work. As for Claude. The vault works perfectly fine without it, I'm sure lots of people use it that way. For me though having Claude from the start made learning the vault easier, because I could ask it "where does this go" and get an answer straight away. So if you ever get stuck on those questions, it's worth knowing that's an option.. But nothing wrong with doing it your way without Claude too..

Not sure why you have a System (area) I’ve never heard about it. I have the 7 life areas only. Environment , career, health, leisure , personal development, social and wealth.

Here's what would get me opening it every day.. 1. Bills still to come this month - Like @Carol Loughrey said, I don't really need to see all my spending, (have the finance tracker for that) just the bills and regular charges that are upcoming. 2. A "waiting on" list. Things and people I've chased and am waiting to hear back from, like quotes, replies and unpaid invoices. Tasks are things I have to do, but waiting-on items are what slips through for me. Projects and activities stall because we're waiting on others. 3. A nudge for quiet projects that have gone quite. Active projects I haven't logged anything against in a couple of weeks, so nothing quietly stalls.
