Get organized - PARA methid


 PARA is a methodology for organizing digital information and activities in a way that is simple, useful, and flexible. PARA itself is an acronym that stands for 'Projects', 'Areas', 'Resources', and 'Archives' - which are the four main categories that make it up.

The system was developed by Tiago Forte. Tiago developed the system as a way to help manage his knowledge and work at his consulting job. Since then PARA has become a part of the 'Build a second brain' system that Tiago also created and popularized.

The PARA system isn't so much a productivity system as it is an organization method. The idea being that by having all your digital information well organized, you can then easily recall it to be productive, creative, and effective - depending on your specific goals.

Distill

Distilling is where we take all that raw information and start to turn it into something much more useful. Our main tool for doing that is through progressive summarization.

Progressive summarization is the act of distilling the information we collected in our second brain down to its most essential elements. We do this by taking our notes and highlighting the main points each time we review them. After about two rounds of highlighting we can also add a summary in our own words to further consolidate what we consider most important
