Research Systems is my personal modular framework for organizing academic, intellectual, and creative work into maintainable systems.

Each system combines six components: 1) a master file, 2) a linked Asana project, 3) a software stack — for example, Google TTS, Dropbox Premium across devices, and now Speechify as my main TTS tool — 4) SOPs, 5) a source/archive layer, and 6) VMOSA.

The VMOSA layer is reviewed every 16–20 weeks.

I share selected public versions of my own systems as a contribution to the research community — and as a discipline for myself. Public structure motivates cleaner files, clearer workflows, and better thinking. The systems began as private working maps when I was struggling with my dissertation, and particularly with revisions, around 2022–2024. More and more friends have repeatedly asked me to share them. It is ironic that I had to come up with all of this to beat my procrastination, but now I am severely struggling with both time and brainpower to build this whole site in a timely way. Ahhhh. Public versions keep the architecture visible while removing private details.

Thank you for using it, and please feel free to share your thoughts with me.
