- Simplify flatten_vault API to return usize instead of MigrationResult struct - Add KEEP_FOLDERS: attachments/ and _themes/ alongside type/, config/, theme/ - Use HashSet for collision tracking in unique_filename - Update wikilinks from path-based [[folder/slug]] to title-based [[slug]] - Clean up empty directories after flattening - Flatten demo-vault-v2: move all notes from type-based subfolders to root - Update smoke tests for flat vault structure - Remove migrate_to_flat_vault from repair_vault (one-time migration only) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Productivity Systems
Productivity systems covers personal knowledge management, task management, note-taking workflows, deep work practices, and the tools and habits that help a knowledge worker produce meaningful output consistently. It is as much about the philosophy of attention and intention as it is about specific tools or methods.
Why this matters
Running a content business solo (with a small team) demands an unusually high level of personal organization. There is no manager setting priorities, no sprint planning meeting — just the daily decision of what to work on and the discipline to follow through. A good productivity system is the scaffolding that makes this possible. The evergreen note knowledge-management-is-not-filing captures a key insight: the point of a knowledge system is not to organize information but to surface it when it matters. The Laputa app itself is an expression of this philosophy — building the exact tool needed to manage a vault of thousands of notes and ideas.
Key resources
- knowledge-management-is-not-filing — the core principle behind a useful PKM system
- the-compound-effect-in-knowledge-work — how small, consistent efforts in note-taking and organization compound over time
- note-deep-work — Cal Newport's framework for protecting focused attention
- note-atomic-habits — the habit-formation system that makes productivity sustainable
- "Building a Second Brain" by Tiago Forte — the PARA method and the concept of intermediate packets
Notes
- The best productivity system is the one you actually use consistently — sophistication means nothing if the system is abandoned after two weeks
- Deep work is the highest-value activity in a content business, and protecting blocks of uninterrupted time is worth more than any tool or framework
- Most people over-invest in capture and under-invest in retrieval — the value of a note is realized when you find it again at the right moment, not when you write it
- Task management and knowledge management serve different purposes and should not be forced into the same tool — tasks are ephemeral, knowledge is durable
- The meta-trap of productivity systems is spending more time optimizing the system than doing the work it is supposed to enable — a trap worth guarding against actively
