The PARA Method: A Universal System for Organizing Digital Information

PARA method is a method for organizing all tasks/information

4 categories:

• Project

  • group of task with a goal and a deadline

• Area (of responsibility)

  • a sphere of activity with a standard to be maintained over time

• Resource

  • a topic or theme of ongoing interest

• Archive

  • inactive items of all other categories

The main idea is that categories are sorted by actionability Project > Area > Resource > Archive.

PARA Method might be a good protection against Collector’s Fallacy as it forces you to file notes based on actionability.
