Denis, your exploration of categorizing information through the MECE principle is not just insightful but also highly practical. I appreciate your journey from facing the challenge of processing a large volume of files to leveraging MECE as a framework for clarity. The breakdown of actionable and non-actionable information into MECE categories, further dissecting them by type of action or purpose, provides a structured approach to information management.

Your incorporation of personal notes and real-life examples, such as the analogy with dinner options, makes the concept relatable. Moreover, linking this approach to personal knowledge management (PKM) and noting its implications for digital structures adds a layer of applicability for readers grappling with information overload. This framework not only aids in organization but also prompts thoughtful consideration for refining existing systems. Looking forward to your upcoming article on note-taking and knowledge management systems.
