Tools and methodologies

CODE, which stands for Capture, Organize, Distill, and Express. PARA – a simple, comprehensive, yet extremely flexible system for organizing any type of digital information across any platform. All the information in your life can be categorized into only four categories:

  • Projects: short-term efforts (in your work or personal life) that you take on with a certain goal in mind
  • Areas: Long-term responsibilities you want to manage over time
  • Resources: Topics or interests that may be useful in the future
  • Archive: Inactive items from the other 3 categories
  1. What project would this be useful?
  2. If none: Which area will this be useful for?
  3. If none: Which resource does this belong to?
  4. If none, it’s probably best to archive this information or not save it at all.
