Note-taking with the PARA method - Best for Beginners
In this video, I explain the PARA method in-depth and why I think it's a good method for beginners. The PARA method extends beyond note-taking to structure your thinking and organize your entire life. It works with almost any tool and has plenty of online resources.

    As a computer science student I always felt like the circle around me never reasoned with the concepts and would rather memorise, spill it on paper, and forget it after they've been tested. I always felt that reasoning and understanding each small component in mini steps and layering the whole idea would get me far ahead. THIS, this was the cherry on top this was exactly what I needed to ensure that I could understand a whole concept and build an idea with it. I'm young and being disciplined with this technique will get me years ahead. I really can't even express my appreciation. Thank you. You earned a new follower.

    I've also gone through so many productivity ideas: GTD, Pomodoro, 43 folders, Bullet Journaling (the pics and videos of others really inspired me but I guess my notes never really looked that neat, cool and it took a longer time). Came across Zettlekasten, but never went into the details. Looked into PARA and realized this is kind of the approach I take. Today I'm using a mixture of 43 folders and a custom PARA method I guess. All the methods are quite similar, but I'm starting to realise the power in Zettlekasten, where the physical constriction of index cards required conciseness. Making much smaller notes, spending less time organising. I've also played with Obsidian but just used TODO+ in VS Code for tracking projects, and searching tags using (git) grep. I never really felt that productive though. The videos you've created have helped me understand some improvements to the workflow. Thank you again. Still need to work on being concise though, I've always struggled with that

    • @jamesbarrow

      The Inbox is also something I've switched between a lot. Today I call it "Collect", because it's where I just collect things. In the past, with it being an inbox, I mentally connected it with my email inbox, which is what I tend to look at and try to then process and organise. But it's conceptually different to me now. I used to get trapped in wanting to organise it sooner. But then I would get distracted by organising, instead of focusing on my current task or project. Similar with Pomodoro, just throwing something into the Collection bucket, and then moving on with what I'm currently busy with, to remove distractions. Later on, going through what I've collected it, and maybe even moving these things into my other Projects or in effect Inboxes. Then when I go to those projects or Inboxes, I process and organise. It is also why I still kind of like the idea of 43 folders. It's the defer stage in GTD

      Finally, I like the idea of timeboxing, and having buckets of time. For example, John Savill has shown his ideas on this, and I also like his categories of buckets: ❤️ Family 💙 Work 💚 Health 💛 Hobby / Project 🤍 Sleep ua-cam.com/video/2sVGJXG4ZFQ/v-deo.htmlsi=gjdszsTXG6b26lOa These are useful for me I suppose when thinking between Projects and Areas

    I am trying to figure out which system to use. I only do notes in txt files and store them in a folder, but then I never remember if I have notes for something that I am looking for and end up investigating again something that I already knew 🤦 That said I don't know if I should start with PARA or wait for your next video on ZET and decide which one fits for my needs. If I start with PARA can it be converted to ZET and if so is it easy?

  • @tiagosutter8821
    @tiagosutter8821 День тому

    My plan for now is to use PARA for general projects/efforts. During some of these project i'll learn something, that goes to the zettelkasten, but in general, things like deadlines, tasks, learning resources, documentation and such will remain in folders closer to PARA method. For using of PARA within Obsidian i'm thinking of put all resources in single folder though, rather than having project resources within the project folder, that is because some projects end up using same resource as another project, so i would like to use it as a link

    @user-te9yg8nl5h День тому

    It's great to see various systems used by tech workers being discussed in detail. As a first-year software engineering student, I'm curious about what tech workers write in their notes. Tech subjects often aren't as word-dense as history, geography, or even physics. When I look at my batchmates' notes, I often find just a series of steps (e.g., "open cmd --> dir --> rmdir"), which are understandable immediately after a lecture. However, after some time, these notes become just a series of steps that don't make much sense, even if they do help achieve a specific task. I want to know how engineers in the industry learn new tools or concepts. How do they break down these concepts, and how do they write notes that still make sense when they revisit them after a few weeks? Instead of just listing commands, how do they capture the underlying concepts? If there's a video showing how to do this, it would be great.

    I don't buy that visualization requirement. It's fancy but vim searching is too good to separate notes into small files. For me a folder hierarchy is good enough. I prefer to have more powerful markup language like asciidoc.

Did you have a wife, kids, a physical exercise regimen and/or any other significant non dev responsibilities while you were getting dev explicit education and increasing your dev skills? Or was all of your energy and efforts directed toward your goal of becoming employed as a dev ops engineer?

Also I've always ready to write down simple instructions in wiki to faster answer repetitious questions. So it also helped me to maintain my skills to clearly describe any aspect of my knowledge.
