Office & Study Management: Cultivating a Knowledge Forest 📚

“A study is not a warehouse, but a base for thinking. Create an environment where you can access every book and every cable instantly.”

MononoMori is perfect for building a personal knowledge base.

📖 Personal Library Management

For book lovers, finding a specific book on a triple-layer shelf is a nightmare.

1. Custom Attributes for Books

Edit “Books” category template.
Add fields: Author, Publisher, Status (Unread/Read).

2. Search by Keyword

When you want to recommend a book to a friend but forgot the title?
Search the author’s name or a stored tag (#Mystery, #Finance) to find it immediately.

3. Loan Management

Lent a book to a friend?
Add a #Lent tag and write “To John, 2024/05” in the memo. No more lost books.

🔌 Cable & Gadget Hell

We all have that box of tangled cables.

1. The Power of Photos

Cables look alike. Text descriptions like “Black USB Cable” are useless.
Photo: Take a clear picture of the connector shape.
Name: “USB-C to Lightning (Short)“.

2. Location: “The Cable Box”

Create a location named “Box A”, “Box B”.
Throw cables in physically, but register them digitally.
When you need a specific cable, search app -> “It’s in Box B”. You only dig through one box.

📄 Document Archiving

1. Paperless Transition

Scan important documents and save them as item images.
Tags: #Tax2023, #Insurance, #Medical.

2. Physical Location

If you must keep the original, specify the location precisely: “File Cabinet > 2nd Drawer > Blue Folder”.

💡 Productivity Tip

Create a “Desktop” location. Register items you use daily. Review it: “Do I really need 5 pens here?” Keep your physical desktop clean to keep your mind clear.
