I have quite a lot of “life infrastructure”, (calendars, routines, to-do lists, etc.), but I’ve found there’s a lot it doesn’t capture. I’ve started using Workflowy as an all-purpose receptacle for recording things I don’t have a sensible tool for. For example, I have a page for logging my study habits, and while it’s not the ideal tool for it, it’s better than nothing in the absence of that ideal.
tree structures are useful for their ability to create junk drawers that don’t clutter up the rest of your lists (among many other benefits of course).
tangent: I have to thank LW user fiddlemath for pointing out during an argument mapping talk that you can maintain strict tree structure with more complex structures involving cross-connections simply via repetition. I’m now using tree structures for more organization.
