- In this video, I share a productivity system that transformed how I organize my digital life. Frustrated with fragmented tools and systems, I found the PARA method, created by Tiago Forte, which stands for Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archive.

I started gradually organizing my work notes using para and enjoy it a lot, I'm planning to start organizing my personal digital assets similarly. One minor thing I do differently, I add numerical prefix to ensure archive is at the bottom (1 - Projects, 2 - Areas, 3 - Resources, 4 - Archive). I like seing projects as the top item that I should focus on short term :)
Numbering is a good idea, especially because of the Archive. I like to have it at the bottom.
Where do you keep your notes?
@@gui.ferreiraI moved from OneNotes to Microsoft Loop
I used to be in OneNote, but moved to Microsoft Loop
Great content! Thanks! I'm interested in more videos like this!
Thanks!
I like the 'archive' folder idea. I'm mostly fairly happy with the layout of my notes (I use Notion for everything except client work, and Obsidian for client work (so those aren't on Notion's cloud)) - but as you say, quite often I have notes that I no longer need, but don't want to delete. Wil start introducing an archive folder. Thanks :)
I always thought that the Archive was a secondary thing, but I see myself getting back to it often.
I stopped taking notes 5 years ago and never looked back. Whatever I need is online..
I'm mostly in the same path now
@@N1mdae yeah, I see parallel between hoarding and taking notes in a sense. And I clarely ain't hoarder. When someone re-visits their notes good for them but I never did
@@vmachacek Exactly, the most I do this days is to take some meeting notes or outlines to clarify some process in logseq or Tana, but ony for the ones I know I need to share or revisit beforehand.
After many years of accumulating notes and data, I came to the conclusion that I needed to reorganize everything depending on the current context, whether because I had a new responsibility or even changed department or company. Therefore, I thought that the root of the organization should always start with the chronology, for example the year and month (202407). So for each chronological workspace I would then place my P.A.R.P. - Projects, Activities, Resources, People. Then, within each of these folders I always have a Previous and Next link, which allows me to navigate the timeline when there is a match for the same organization in the previous/next period. Thanks for your session ideas.
I think you would like logseq
What is this "public transportation system" you speak of? Just kidding :) American joke.
