Introduction

🔍 A summary of the system

You have one general inbox where everything enters your system. That's the energy database. Every unit of energy gets assigned to a process. We call these processes engines, and they each have their own steps and workspace. One of the possible follow-up steps is for the information to be absorbed into an item in the knowledge database. Knowledge is defined as permanently useful information.

The KEE System is deliberately set up to be simple. There are only a few properties per database and hardly any formulas. It's, therefore, easy and welcome to migrate from your existing Notion databases and properties into KEE. The only requirement is you remember and maintain the foundational principles of the KEE databases.

That being said, it's not necessary to migrate all your existing data to KEE to get started. There's so much value in starting with a clean slate. In fact, a core principle of KEE is to actively push back against hoarding information.

🗓️ A typical week using the basic KEE system template:

• On Sunday, you set your goals for the quarter using the planning dashboard
• On Monday, you reflect on the past week and set your targets for this week
• Throughout the week, you use your task and note dashboard to progress toward your weekly targets. You also consume the media you had stored up, and capture your thoughts and to-dos in your inbox.
• Saturday morning is for grooming. You process your energy inbox and assign each item to an engine. You organize new media to your media munching dashboard.
• On Sunday, you digest some of the new insights, quotes, and notes you found. Some of them you might immediately tweet/write about, and others you assign to a knowledge item to be absorbed in-depth in the future.
