Organizing Your Digital Life with PARA

The key principle of PARA is organizing according to what's actionable, which stands for projects, areas, resources, and archives. It provides an information hierarchy for your entire digital life, allowing you to organize everything from the past, the future, and across your organization. Instead of organizing based on broad categories like libraries do, PARA focuses on what is most actionable, less actionable, and least actionable. It is a universal framework that can be applied to various software programs, creating a parallel structure and allowing for faster workflow and contact switching.
