Pro
Knowing where to save things: easy. Knowing what to do next? Hard. Pro is the Life Admin System, every video course in Johnny.Decimal University, and our tools, for one price.
With our pre-built systems we solved the problem of 'where do I save it?' But the Life Admin System doesn't contain areas for your hobbies, side hustle, or that tennis club you manage β that's stuff unique to you, so you need to design it yourself.
The harder problem becomes: how do you stay on top of it all, and do what's important?
Pro shows you how to do both.
βWatching 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.β

The Workshop
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 β by the end, you have a working system of your own.
[John: the Workshop trailer embed goes here. Send me the video ID.]
Most courses make you watch some guy's head in the corner of the screen while he uses a computer. So they're not very engaging and you lose interest. Not this one: instead, Lucy is our on-camera student and you'll work with her as she builds her system.
Her progress and questions are genuine. So as you have questions, we hope that she asks them on your behalf. And the videos are all different: many of them are me explaining concepts at my whiteboard, or the two of us working on her system together.
You'll see the whole reasoning process β why this category and not that? Why this ID, this title? The kind of thinking no pre-built system can teach. It's how I download my brain to yours.
Our Life Admin and Small Business systems are the output of this thinking, applied to two specific problems. The Workshop shows you the thinking itself.
Task and Project Management
Tasks keep you on top of your life. Projects drive it forward. Over another 5 hours, I show you how I run both in my own system, every day. The aim: a 'comfortable awareness' of everything you need to do.
These processes drive my life and business. I explain my rationale and show you exactly how to set it up. (I use Things for Mac β I had to pick something β but the principles adapt to any software.)
I've never felt more organised, or more in control.
Also included
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 β Excel: a bonus 14-hour (!) course. I taught Lucy β a total beginner β how to use Excel.
The Life Admin System
We include the Life Admin System because it's a great starting point: 150+ IDs, with 10,000 words of description and examples. And efficiency is at the heart of our system β don't reinvent what exists. Extending it to cover your hobbies, job, or a club you manage is a great way to see how Johnny.Decimal works.
Tools
AI needs structure to work well. Johnny.Decimal provides exactly that. Our tools put it to work: today that's an MCP server and API access to the site contents, both in beta. Ask your LLM questions about your system, or write your own tools.
What people say
βYou'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.β
β Devesh
βI 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 β 1.5 years later, my life is still organized and I'm finally in peace.β
β Taras
βAll 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.β
β Jeff, Lovett Sundries
βI just finished the course this evening and wowza β¦ 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.β

Questions
What software do I need?
The system works with whatever you already use. You'll need an app to manage your JDex β 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. Please don't use OneNote, it's β¦ just no.
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 comes from hello@johnnydecimal.com and has a
link to create your account. Click that, set a password, and you're in.
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.
