IME having a personal system can be invaluable. It HAS to be something that resonates for you subjectively and personally -- it could be a system someone else has created (bullet journal, PARA, whatever) but if it's going to work, and stick, has to become "yours" to some degree.

I definitely agree when it comes to personal storage. Making the system (whatever it is) "yours" is the key.
But when dealing with shared storage, if everyone makes the system "theirs" to some degree, you end up with a disorganized mess. Which is where a rigorously defined system (this, something else, something custom) is required to keep any sanity.
