I incorporated some of these ideas like 10-15 years ago.

My top level relations:

* Fun: Sex, drugs, rock & roll

* Home: Rent, buy, interior, yard, cars, places

* Meta: This system

* Mind: Philsophy, language, math, art, music, science

* Money: Accounts, investments, Bitcoin

* People: Family, friends, everyone

* Self: Fitness, health & illness, spirit, food, fashion

* Tools: Computing, devices, productivity, maker, crafts

* Work: Career, job

Roget's original thesaurus, which divides every word into 6 (or something) top-level relations was also an inspiration.

These are my root items in Workflowy (with its infinitely nested bullets).

I star active projects so they show up in the sidebar. I shift-drag (to mirror) items out of projects into the root (above the relations) to serve as my daily todo list. All in all, simple, efficient, and comprehensive.
