Notes from The PARA Method book by Tiago
- Never create an empty folder/tag/container before you really have something to put in it (p50, Create Additional folders as needed)
- Work with an Inbox folder to don’t waste time putting it inside PARA at the perfect place immediately but file them in a combined session (p 58 Create an Inbox)
- Installed Custom-Sort Obsidian Plugin to sort my folders according to PARA without having to change my Johnny Decimal Numbering system
- projects end while areas continue indefinitely
- every project falls under an area of responsibility
- Areas - things you are directly responsible for and Resources - things you are merely interested in
- For resources ask Is this useful, rather than Is this interesting
PARA with a team
Questions that highlight that effective Knowledge Management boils down to
- Is it interesting and attention-grabbing? (Does it make people want to read it?)
- Is precise and clear? (Can people easily understand wha it’s trying to say?)
- Is it empathetic? (Is it written to be understood from the reader’s point of view?)
- Does it help people solve a problem? (Is it clearly useful and effective?)
- Does it inspire people to take action? (Does it make it eas for others to apply it?)
3 PARA core habits
- Organize according to outcomes (action first)
- Organize just in time
- Keep things informal
What matters now is the ability to elevate your perspective above the fray of the day-to-day noise, remain in a place of calm perspective, and from that place to orchestrate the people, tools, systems, and flows of information surging around you.
