The PARA Method: The Simple System for Organizing Your Digital Life in Seconds

This web clip, along with the highlights below, was created effortlessly using our new app Flylighter.

After more than a decade of personal experimentation, teaching thousands of students, and coaching world-class professionals, I’ve developed such a system. It’s called PARA – a simple, comprehensive, yet extremely flexible system for organizing any type of digital information across any platform.

You have projects you’re actively working on – short-term efforts (in your work or personal life) that you take on with a certain goal in mind.

You have areas of responsibility – important parts of your work and life that require ongoing attention.

Then you have resources on a range of topics you’re interested in and learning about

Finally, you have archives, which include anything from the previous three categories that is no longer active, but you might want to save for future reference
