#Sub System

Aspect-oriented programming - Wikiwand

Beneath the two main systems mentioned above, there are "Task Management," "Goal Management," and "Time Management" subsystems, which I mainly operate through "Periodic Notes":

#Task Management

Task collection and indexing

Task organization

#Task Collection

Usually, whether in "Daily notes," "Weekly Notes," "Monthly Notes," or "PARA Notes," I create tasks quickly using the Markdown syntax - [ ] Task 1, thus collecting tasks. You don't need to be particularly concerned about which notes you record tasks in; what you need to focus on is tagging each record. If there's a definite due date, you can also trigger due date input by typing due.

Why shouldn't you worry about where to collect? Because you can review a task in multiple places, such as the task index at the root directory, task collection modules in weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual logs, and the *.README.md index files of PARA notes.

#Task Organization

Since tasks collected are easily accessible in various modules, you can plan "Weekly Notes" and "Monthly Notes" by placing tasks as "Block Links and Block References" into corresponding modules as "this week's" or "this month's" to-do items!

#Goal Management

Goal Management Example

Annual goal setting to implementation

#Goal Setting

At the beginning of each year, plan annual goals through "Annual Notes." You can do this from the perspective of key events (i.e., "Areas") or through role dimensions, making it easy to maintain a sense of purpose in each "Area" and "Role."

#Goal Breakdown

At the start of each quarter, break down the annual goals set in "Annual Notes" in the "Quarterly Notes." After all, annual goals are quite significant and cannot be accomplished overnight. The breakdown in "Quarterly Notes" serves as a roadmap for achieving the "Annual Goals."

#Goal Decomposition

The above two steps merely set and breakdown the goals. To realize goals, they need to be transformed into individual "Tasks." How? Simple. At the start of each month, refer to "Quarterly Notes" to decompose and sort through this month's "Tasks." At the beginning of each week, just pick tasks from "Monthly Notes" and place them in "Weekly Notes."

#Time Management

Time Management Example

Project time tracking and review

#Project Time Tracking

First, manually tally each project's time spent and total time in "Daily notes," providing raw data for the project time tracking in "Weekly Notes," "Monthly Notes," "Quarterly Notes," and "Annual Notes."

#Project Time Review

Having obtained raw data from "Daily notes," the "Projects List" module in "Weekly Notes," "Monthly Notes," "Quarterly Notes," and "Annual Notes" allows LifeOS to calculate the time spent on each "Project" per "Week," "Month," "Quarter," and "Year." This is highly beneficial for reviewing time expenses and making you truly understand "Where did the time go?"

You might be curious that the subsystems mentioned above seem only to use "Periodic Notes." In fact, the two parent systems connect the various subsystems through several methods.
