Reflection to PARA

• I like the ATLAS and Calendar entry points. Although:
  • ATLAS is currently covered by META folders
  • Calendar is currently covered by Journal folders but I like the sub-categories for it (like Daily, Plan, Reviw…) .. can make a great folder insights projects
• I need to start using MOCs more to gain an overview and link things more together. The MOCs then build the central entry points to cross connect information.
• Extra - is covered by Resources or Meta (and sub folders connected) …here I still need to further optimize and create clarity.
• SPACES are covered by projects … and currently work better for me
