the concept is very good, and i like the approach to distinguish personal , business etc. It's not the system that matters, but the continued practice of inventorying and assessing your library.

One approach is to imagine your archives as a physical library and what regular maintenance you would need to keep the library in order for others to enjoy it.

These include indexing like the author talked about. but also curating & summarization ( meta-summaries of the catalog). Also disaster preparation (backup) , replication (e.g. keeping repositories in sync between the archive and active work).

Every well built engineering system started as a neglected concept that got elevated into a formal area worthy of attention
