Created by [[Tiago Forte]], PARA stands for:
- Projects
- Areas (of responsibility)
- Resources
- Archives
The most notable difference between a project and an area is that a project has a deadline, whereas an area does not.
Resources are more topic-based, and are where research belongs.
### Projects
- Has a start and an end; deadlines
### Areas
- Personally relevant information, such as medical history
### Resources
- Generally useful information, like a [[Personal knowledge management|PKM]]
- Interests, themes, and assets
- Research
### Archives
