I've run through every productivity system you've heard of: Franklin Covey, GTD, Bullet Journal, Focus Course. They all died the same way: maintenance was the first casualty of a busy week.
Most of what I see about AI + markdown focuses on the technical side. What I found is that the productivity system patterns are just as critical and usually missing. BuJo rapid logging and migration discipline. GTD capture-and-clarify. Gary Keller's ONE Thing as a daily forcing function. Anti-goals as hard limits the system monitors automatically, not aspirations you have to remember to check.
On the technical side: CLAUDE.md context files at every folder level for hierarchical context loading, slash commands that run daily/weekly/monthly workflows automatically, sub-agents for email scanning and meeting processing. No database. Plain text in git.
The insight that ties both halves together: AI absorbs the maintenance that killed every previous system. The productivity patterns still do the real work; they just don't die anymore because I'm not the one keeping them alive.
Happy to share the structure and patterns if useful. I'll be sharing more about this system in subsequent posts and when its ready, a version on Github for all to download.
