Why I created aFIM
Most knowledge management systems are structured around projects – not our minds
This leads to
• Constantly Rebuilding your system
• Context gets lost between notes, tasks and files
• We manage systems more than our work
• We don't know where to put or find information and neither the state of your work
Projects and folders are static – our thinking is not
Clarity builds on understanding and purpose.

What AFIM does
Before
- Each tool speaks it's own language
- You don't know how to handle new information
- The state of your work is often unclear
You manage your tools.
After
- Your tools align and communicate
- You stop thinking where to put things – and just place them
- The state of your work is inherently part of your structure
You manage your work
AFIM is tool-agnostic.
•
It doesn’t add another tool — it removes friction between the ones you already use.
How AFIM works
One Framework. One Mental Model. Any Tool.
Mental Model
Built around how thinking actually works
•
AFIM follows the natural flow of information:
capture → structure → create → act → control
One Structure
Everything follows the same logic
•
Notes, tasks, and files share one simple structure — so you stop organizing and start working.
Connection
Your tools start reflecting each other
•
Topics across tools are connected by the structure – so you don't need to use complex tags
Development
Extend your structure when needed
•
AFIM gives you a scaffold you can use, when your work becomes more complex

no new App. A Modular System.
