Title:: PARA organization system

PARA system of classifying files is explained in “Build a Second Brain” by Tiago Forte PARA stands for Project, Area, Resource, Archive.

Project:most actionable because you’re working on them right now and with a concrete deadline in mind
Area:have a longer time horizon and are less immediately actionable
Resources:may become actionable depending on the situation
Archive:remain inactive unless they are needed

This system focuses on the accessibility of a files relative to it’s priority. So the file may move from one file to other. Similar to Zettelkasten system, where Fleeting and Bibliographical notes can be polished into being a Permanent note.
