You can know exactly where your house insurance policy is, and when it's due – and still forget to renew it. There's so much to do that it's hard to keep track of what comes next.

The pre-built Life Admin and Small Business systems answer the question "where does it go?". So the next problem is "what do I do next?", and it's the one we solve in our Task and Project Management course.

I show you how to handle the two types of work we all have. Tasks are the daily chores that we just need to stay on top of. If you don't do those, life gets worse.

Projects are the longer-term things that we often choose to do. They make life better. Balancing them is the trick. You can't possibly do it all, so my goal is to show you how to achieve a 'comfortable awareness' of everything on your plate.

These processes drive my life and business. I've never felt more organised, or more in control. My todo list isn't a source of stress.

“I just finished the course this evening and wowza … I feel so much more at ease with what's on my plate. I never comment in forums/discord but had to just say thanks. You've given my brain some space.”

Here's the introduction to the 5-hour course. If you like this, you'll like the course. If you don't, you probably won't. :-)

It's one of six courses in Johnny.Decimal University, all included with our Pro membership.

The Life Admin System covers the things we all do. It can't cover your hobbies, your side hustle, or that tennis club you manage. That's unique to you, so you need to design it yourself.

That's what the other main course in University is for. In our 5-hour Workshop, my partner Lucy takes apart her own life and rebuilds it as a Johnny.Decimal system. You build yours alongside her – by the end, you have a working system of your own.

Lucy is our on-camera student, and her progress and questions are genuine. Chances are she asks the question you were about to.

You'll see the whole reasoning process – why this category and not that? Why this ID, this title? Our Life Admin and Small Business systems are the output of this thinking. The Workshop shows you how we got there.

“Watching Lucy build her system with Johnny's guidance gave me the confidence to build my own system. One week in, I'm already feeling more organized and productive.”

Mini-courses

The rest are mini-courses: some are JDU-only, others are things we've taught on YouTube. We've collected those here, put them in the right order, and removed the ads.

• Johnny.Decimal 101: the system's documentation, explained by me on video.
• Working with Johnny.Decimal: how I use my system to run my own business.
• Online security essentials: how to be safer online.
• Learn with Lucy – Excel: a bonus 14-hour (!) course. I taught Lucy – a total beginner – how to use Excel.

“You've hit it out of the park. Your workshop is another level. You have set a new standard in 'learn at your own pace' courses in my opinion. Having Lucy as the student zero is just brilliant.”

“I took all the productivity courses there are. Each was super expensive and my life got maybe 10% less of a mess. Then I took the [Workshop], spent 2 weeks to integrate the system – 1.5 years later, my life is still organized and I'm finally in peace.”

— Taras

“All 3 of my email inboxes are down to zero, all of my expenses are coded, my projects are not lost and forgotten and I, for the first time in my adult life, feel like I'm starting the year better off than I finished last year. I think this is because your Task and Project Management philosophy fully unlocked the benefits of the Johnny Decimal system.”

— Jeff, Lovett Sundries

What software do I need?

The system works with whatever you already use. You'll need an app to manage your index – I recommend Obsidian but you can use any app that either lets you keep a list of notes, or is a database. People use and enjoy Bear, NotePlan, DEVONThink, Notion, Craft, Emacs, and more.

It works the same on Mac, Windows or Linux. You can even use it on your iPad, though setup is a little harder because of its limitations.

In Task and Project Management I use Things for Mac – I had to pick something – but the principles adapt to any software.

Can't my AI just do this for me?

It can do a lot of your tasks. It can't decide which ones matter, or what you'd rather be doing with your life. That part is still yours, and it's what these courses teach.

Where is my data stored?

Wherever it is today: I never touch your data. What I give you is structure and process. If your data is on your iCloud Drive today, that's where it stays.

What happens after I buy?

If you're not signed in, you'll receive an email after your payment is processed. It has a link to create your account. If you're already signed in, you'll get instant access to your purchase.

What's the guarantee?

If you don't like it, you can have your money back. No questions asked. You've got 14 days to check it out. Forward your purchase receipt to hello@johnnydecimal.com.

If you want to tell us what we could have done better, please do: it really helps. But no pressure. You can just say 'I'd like a refund'. If you can't find your receipt, tell me what you purchased and when and I'll look it up. (You should be more organised. Ha ha.)

Is there a coupon/deal/offer?

No. You'll notice that we don't try to trick you with fake countdowns or bogus 'deals'. When you buy something there isn't another screen that tries to upsell you at the last minute. The price is the price.

Similarly, we don't do seasonal offers. So you don't have to think about when to buy, or wonder if waiting will get you a deal.

What if I need help?

Email me. I answer every message personally, usually within 24 hours.
