Curious and a bit confused about how the two books relate to each other? Do they cover the same material? Would you recommend one over the other, or one as a precursor to the other? Thanks
I have implemented this system for the past two years, for myself and for my work. It's highly effective, but it does take time to train my employees to the concept. While most of the descriptors "Projects, Resources, and Archives." The term "Area" takes a lot of explaining and I still get confused at times. So I changed it to "Essentials" And that helped make things easier to understand.
I really like this, I can't seem to tell the difference between what goes in Area and what goes in Resource but maybe I'm overthinking it. I like the idea of renaming the Area section as 'essentials'
I've been using PARA for the past few months. It helps me considerably. For example, just this morning I partially cleaned up my photos folders, with most just getting dumped into a "pre-2023" archive. In particular, I use a project folder for my current genealogy research question, holding the files for that ancestor. The rest of my genealogy files go into resources.
Great video, Tiago! These visual examples of what PARA looks like in your own Evernote was suuuuper valuable. Really appreciate you sharing this with all of us! 👍👍
Finally, watched so much videos about PARA from others, but for the first time we heard it so clearly from the founder. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
Thanks tiago forte I am a high school student your books and videos , made me organized , I am managing my studies with my hobbies and personal projects .❤
@@IsraelDiaz-rf6ns Couple months late here, but you can implement it either using subdirectories within a vault, or tags. Personally I do it with tags, and use the tag folder plugin to visualize the tags as folders.
Looking into this as someone that tries to organize their adhd life. The para is basically how it should be organized for adhd so nothing new but I appreciated the framework and usage of digital tools to achieve it.
I've been "using" PKM for years (Like I'd had a lobotomy it seems) Then I came across BASB. (Dismissed it as not for me.) Then I found PKM as a thing. The lights went on and I started looking at note taking apps, including the one I'd been using for those same years. Then I went back to BASB and a brilliant flash of a realisation hit me. Now with Obsidian, BASB (The audiobook and paperback) and soon, both of The PARA Method media when released, I think I can say Tiago has fully illuminated the productivity world for me. Even an old retiree can learn new tricks. Thanks Tiago
Thank you, Tiago. I have been feeling extremely disorganized for the longest time which creates unnecessary stress and your system has helped to relieve some of that. I literally just bought 2 4'x3' whiteboards for my office to help myself get organized before watching your video. PARA is the first thing I wrote on one of them. I look forward to watching the rest of the videos in your series.
I am currently reading your how to build a second brain book and you’ve just dropped this banger for us to understand more about the PARA method which gives me more insight. Appreciate it!
love seeing inside the System. Would like to see more. I get the overall concept, but with so many areas of life, interests, and projects it helps seeing the details on how you and other organize theirs using the PARA framework
This video has given me the incentive i needed to clean up the fragmented data i had on one note. After watching your video twice, i got to work on fixing the mess i created over the years. It took me a few hours to move and rename sections etc but now i feel like I've accomplished something very important. Also by doing the much needed maintenance work, I've polished up my one note skills. Since i'm very picky picky about what you-tube videos i watch and like value content which is not that abundant on you tube, however this video is super valuable, big thanks to you for the work you put in. By the way i found your video after watching one of Andy parks videos. Both channels have great content.
thank you so much, Tiago! this is actually something that I was desperately looking for - an easy and effective system to organize all my thoughts, data and whatsoever. in times of breathtaking AI eveolvement, still I struggle to beginn with the very basics in organizing my own personal data. Also, I do very much appreciate the fact that you present your PARA system so openly on your personal screen. Much easier to understand than just the therory behind PARA. Looking forward to many more of your inspiring videos 🔥
Finding you (videos) on UA-cam has been like a naked person finding a jacket in the snow , I guess what I am trying to say is Thank You ! Every second spent on you making this video has my respect and appreciation in every way possible please keep up the good work in sharing your amazing brain with us cant wait to see more from you !!
I had just read your book on this and had no clue that you had a youtube channel. Made me really happy bc i was really gonna be sad to return the book to the library XD. But in all reality, your system has me seriously believing it will chnage my LIFE. thank you for sharing this engenius method of organization
Thank you so much! Organizing my information has been secondary for me with my new business but as I move forward I struggle with accessing critical information. Now I feel like I have a good handle on how to get started!
Hey Tiago, this was an interesting breakdown and the Areas approach was definitely something new that I look forward to trying. I did have one suggestion for you to try out (or explain why you prefer this way in case you've already considered it!) - the Archives folder can actually go within each of the Project / Area / Resource folders. That way stuff doesn't get mixed up again once it is archived and I find it usually works with a way I would refer to an archive anyway (like looking at an older project in reference to a current project). The way I do it is have a folder within square parenthesis called [Archive] within each category so it remains distinct from the others.
@@mikefamm5712 Areas was something new for me but for Projects and Resources - yes. Within my Archives folder there are actually folders for each year (like 2019, 2020 etc.) so you can always put older ones on a different drive if you don't want them there indefinitely.
Did you just give your book for free? You are awesome man. I've been using your system for about a year now and I think it is the the greatest tool of this century. THE SECOND BRAIN!! I truly love it. It has helped me A TON! Thank you so much for sharing such tool. I'm literally obsessed with it and can't stop recommending to everyone.😂
Appreciate your work. I have been reading your book and going through Last letter of CODE (Express). These types of Videos help to create our own second brain.
I’d like to make the suggestion, (using the phenomenal system you proposed), to create “Stacks” for the PARA file areas. This will enable you to have Notebooks under the Stacks, with related notes. I just think this one added file level is helpful. It’s like having the ability to have one level of sub folders….(where you have multiple notes with “FL” at front for Business, you could have a “Business” notebook with the various “FL” notes in it
Nailed the explanation in this video! I'm just gonna send people to this video next time I'm going on about PARA and how I've found it such a breath of fresh air!
I had recently noted your name being mentioned with praise, but had not yet made time to check the spelling and seek you out, so was very glad that youtube anticipated me. I wanted to use Evernote more effectively, and this system fits my need, and my brain. Subscribed. Thank you.
Been hoping to see a series like this! Just started implementing this to gain a conscious memory of everything I’m doing and have done. Very excited to step up my second brain game! 🔥
Very useful video Tiago! Just goes straight to the point, and makes everything more clear when you showcase how you use it in a practical situation. As someone who uses Evernote, my current system (or lack of) makes it very jarring to use it productively. I will definitely need to sit down and implement this method onto my own notes. Cant wait for the rest of the series!
Thanks for posting this. The pictures in your book introduced the topic, but watching this video really helped me understand how you use set up the PARA system.
One of the most underrated guys on the internet. It's because real practical advice doesn't get the views all these "productivity hacks" channel promise. Tiago came up with a system that is unmatched.
@@sixrohow it's possible is just so simple. Have you noticed most people are lost, or losers, or depressed. They have no need or interest is anything leading to a good life.
I wanted to say thank you! I’ve been looking for methods to organize my life and you entertained most of my questions. In addition, you look like Elon Musk, really!!!
I don't find this system appealing, but overall the video is inspirational. The "ugly truth" about organizing and time management is, that there's no miracle solution. You learn tiny bit by tiny bit and it takes years. I've learned an idea that organizing my tags and folders across notes, tasks, photos, documents, etc. might help keep things tidy. Learned it Today in this video. I think it will turn into a big small improvement. Great job Tiago! 👏👍
Ola Tiago tudo bem contigo ? o trabalho que voce desempenha é realmente fantastico, mudou muitos minha vida neste sentido. esses videos seus e acredito que de seus alunos mostrando como funcionam efetivamente as pastas, é incrível. obrigado por compartilhar. espero que logo seja lançado seu livro aqui no Brasil.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📚 The PARA method is an organizing system for managing digital life, using four categories: Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives. 00:58 🎯 Projects are actionable, short-term endeavors with specific outcomes and deadlines. 01:53 📝 Areas are ongoing roles or responsibilities with no specific completion point. 02:49 📖 Resources are topics of interest or useful references for the future. 03:29 🗄️ Archives store inactive items from Projects, Areas, or Resources, serving as cold storage for future reference. Made with HARPA AI
Thanks for the time and energy of making this EXCELLENT video! My question is: Where do you save your memories (pictures, videos, etc) files in the PARA Method Folder Structure and how these files are organized?
Pictures and videos are unique kinds of media that require special treatment, because we now generate them in such incredible quantity, because they are so large in size, and because viewing and editing them require special features. I keep a small number of images and photos in my notes app for ideas or inspiration, but most of my photos from my day to day life, vacations, etc just get uploaded automatically from my phone to Google Photos, which sorts them chronologically by date without any effort needed from me. So this is even easier and power effort than using PARA!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:44 🗂️ *Projects are defined by specific outcomes with deadlines, focusing on action-oriented and short-term goals.* 01:39 📚 *Areas represent ongoing responsibilities without specific endpoints, requiring continuous attention and organization.* 02:37 🌐 *Resources encompass topics of interest or useful references that may not be immediately actionable but could contribute to future projects or areas.* 03:29 ❄️ *Archives store inactive items from projects, areas, or resources, serving as a searchable repository for past information without cluttering the current workspace.* Made with HARPA AI
Thanks, Tiago! As usual, an excellent video production regarding PARA! Well done. Now, for OUR next project, we need to figure out a way to teach this concept to High School students!!!
Great video...I've heard about PARA before but hearing you explain it made total sense. I went and pre-ordered the Kindle version so I can read it as soon as it's released, and I'll definitely be tuning in to your upcoming videos. I use OneNote for my second brain, so I hope some of your videos will show suggestions on how to utilize PARA in OneNote.
Ufff que buen video. Utilizo PARA en mi Workflowy y estaba esperando verlo y será genial ver los siguientes (entendiendo que por el título de éste (Parte 1)), especialmente para quienes quieren implementarlo para su pequeña empresa y en grupos de trabajo. Muchas gracias Tiago
Thank you, Tiago! With the rise of tech, organizing our digital lives is a must to increase inefficiency. Moreover, as a visual learner, your video is a shortcut to learning PARA! Hoping that PARA method would lead me to finish reading a book. 😁
Love this visual... This will assist in streamlining my method of the PARA idea even futher. I'm really interested in the Education plan as homeschool our 4 children. Would love to see more on that tab if possible on organizing that further
Kudos for helping your son so much. I wish my dad had had an education plan for me beyond marry a rich banker (I’m gen X) 😀 . Thanks for your system. finally one that makes sense to me.
Hi Tiago, I read "The PARA Method" book and I have some questions (2 for now :D): 1. I read in a paragrah that TODOs us things that you can do at any time. How do you deal with task that must be managed before an end date? Do you put a memo in the calendar as an appointment to remind it? 2. Do you manage bookmarks in your web browser in a way so that you can use them for projects/area/others? Something like PAR, but without Archives... Thanks 🙏
you do whatever suits you best. everyone's circumstances are different. if you spend time thinking how to categorize things according to how someone else does it you're missing the whole point.
Hey Tiago. ;-) I was curious first - but now I am convinced that this changes the way I organize myself and my life. I already shared it with my brother. Thanks.
Apart from PARA, you also have another interesting idea: you have prefixed your projects for your company etc. instead of putting them in nested folders (maybe because of software limitations but nevertheless).
Great video! All the data you have curated over the years is extremely valuable not just to you but also to prying eyes. How to you protect your identity and protect that information? Might be a good topic for a video. The PARA method could be used on many different platforms with pros and cons for and against each. It would be interesting to hear your interpretation and approach. I am currently exploring with Obsidian.
in the age of information, our brains are challenged to act (or react) more quickly I entered here because I thought this was the Elon Musk method of organizing digital life! The video is interesting and insightful so far, I will follow! very often a basic rule of organization is "learn to say NO".
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this, you might like my book, The PARA Method: www.buildingasecondbrain.com/para
Sir I will use it to clear my job interviews and competitive exams. This will help me stand out from the Massive Amounts of Geniuses in India.
Very interesting, how are you tracking the end dates for projects?
Would not Archive get very large and potentially cause an issue due to it's size
😊
Curious and a bit confused about how the two books relate to each other? Do they cover the same material? Would you recommend one over the other, or one as a precursor to the other? Thanks
I really like that the acronym still works in spanish. Proyectos, Areas, Recursos, Archivos
Pero de hecho, no sería "Archivos" sino "Archivo"
em português também: Projetos, Áreas, Recursos e Arquivos.
provável que tenha sido de caso pensado, já que Tiago é (meio) brasileiro
Also in italian: Progetti, Aree, Risorse, Archivio 😊
In French it’s Projets, Domaines, Ressources, Archive, so PDRA
@@-suguru- HAHA it is so French to think of areas as something dominated, ehm colonialism 😅

Thank you dear Tiago. Really great advice. I will put it into action.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing and for making it so straight to the point
Kudos for helping your son so much. I wish my dad had had an education plan for me beyond marry a rich banker (I’m gen X) 😀 . Thanks for your system. finally one that makes sense to me.
I always got areas and resources a bit muddled up so this is really good to have some examples.
Hi Tiago, I read "The PARA Method" book and I have some questions (2 for now :D):
1. I read in a paragrah that TODOs us things that you can do at any time. How do you deal with task that must be managed before an end date? Do you put a memo in the calendar as an appointment to remind it?
2. Do you manage bookmarks in your web browser in a way so that you can use them for projects/area/others? Something like PAR, but without Archives...
Thanks 🙏
you do whatever suits you best. everyone's circumstances are different. if you spend time thinking how to categorize things according to how someone else does it you're missing the whole point.
Hey Tiago. ;-) I was curious first - but now I am convinced that this changes the way I organize myself and my life. I already shared it with my brother. Thanks.
Apart from PARA, you also have another interesting idea: you have prefixed your projects for your company etc. instead of putting them in nested folders (maybe because of software limitations but nevertheless).
Great work, valuable informations, thank you.
OMG THIS IS AMAZINGLY AMAZING ❤❤❤❤
Even though I have my own organising method, for a folder structure, I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos in this series. 🙂
I feel like this should be EVERYWHERE
Hey Tiago! Thanks for sharing all of this with us. I have a question. What about projects within areas? o resources within project or areas?
Great video! All the data you have curated over the years is extremely valuable not just to you but also to prying eyes. How to you protect your identity and protect that information?
Might be a good topic for a video. The PARA method could be used on many different platforms with pros and cons for and against each. It would be interesting to hear your interpretation and approach. I am currently exploring with Obsidian.
in the age of information, our brains are challenged to act (or react) more quickly
I entered here because I thought this was the Elon Musk method of organizing digital life!
The video is interesting and insightful so far,
I will follow!
very often a basic rule of organization is "learn to say NO".
Thank you for this video. It comes just at the right time.
Super helpful, appreciate the walkthrough of your setup!
This is brilliant! I will be trying this. Thank you so much for this video.
